That’s great that it is now partially covered by Medicare, @sunrise_sunset …. I reckon it ALL should be, as the cost of having it done is often less than the cost of having just one dose of the chemo - so would be financially beneficial to Medicare if some people DON’T need chemo (PLUS not having to go thru all the treatments & side effects!) I’m not an accountant, but even I can work that one out! ;)
Golly Gosh … that is a curly question, isn’t it, given the 14 year gap in your diagnoses. I am guessing you may be leaning more ‘toward’ having it done, than not? Would that be right? And if you DID go ahead with chemo, it may well knock the recurrence chances of the Liposarcoma as well? We had a similar test done for my husband’s cancer (his Mets recurrence was 10 years after the initial diagnosis/surgery/chemo) - it cost $5000 and was sent to the USA and it also gave the names of specific chemos that would suit his treatment but sadly none of those treatments were available in Australia at the time :(
