I agree, @FTA ... it SHOULD be covered by Medicare - as in the long term, it will be cheaper for the Gov if they can prevent people from doing chemo if they don't really need it - or by giving them specifically targeted treatment that they know will suit their BC, rather than 'guessing' & just using stock standard chemo .... they have recently OK'd it for children with cancers. Hopefully they will expand it for everyone.
