I am stage one. I was denied the Bayer Serum test by two oncologists. My current onc after reviewing the CD from Bayer, had no objection to me having it if I wanted to pay for it provided I understood its limits for a stage one. I thought that fair. My other oncs wouldn't even allow it if I paid out of pocket!
I did not start chemo (taxotere)/herceptin until I was 9 months from diagnosis. I have five more months of herceptin to do and now don't know if or when I should have it. I would have liked to have had the test before Herceptin as a baseline of sorts. Are there any on going studies for use of the test for a stage one?
Thanks
Janet
