Hi @arpie and all members of this forum,
I wrote to my local and federal members, and the state and federal health ministers. If we can all get behind this, it could make a difference. The general public just don't know what genomic testing is.

Dear ...,
I'm writing to you to lend support to a fellow member of the breast cancer survivor forum BCNA. If you can do so in any way at all, please represent all cancer patients in advocating for oncology genomic testing to be the FIRST test, not the last - to tailor better, more effective and less damaging treatments for all cancer diagnosis, including metastatic cancer.
Please read this account https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/23262/genomic-testing-should-be-the-first-test-not-the-last#latest
I paid $5000 for a USA genomic assay, Oncotype DX, explained here https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/types/oncotype_dx
Australia is not keeping up with best practice oncology. Many countries support public health system genomic testing.
Please help in any way you can.
