Two of my oncs and one research nurse poo pooed the idea of the test and would not order it, period. My third onc did say he would order it if I wanted it and would pay for it but as a stage one--there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. At least I can't figure out when I should ask for it. My current onc is for not testing until symptoms present saying it makes no difference in long term out come. I will need to find facts to dispute this if I want tests following the end of Herceptin in August.
