Hi @danielad, I’m curious about which province you’re in and how you went about getting it covered? I’m in BC and recently asked about it prior to radiotherapy and was told it’s not standard of care for DCIS and that they wouldn’t order it for me. So frustrating as it seems crucial information prior to deciding on treatment.

@homebird - Hello! Actually, I don't reside in Canada. I was trying to help a Canadian who lives in Ontario. I wrote the company to find if they offered the test in Canada. I am very happy to tell you that the Canadian blogger found out that her hospital IS participating in the Pilot program I described above and has requested to participate. SUCCESS!!!

But, going to you - You are ABSOLUTELY right in wanting this test!!! If you would like to send me your email address, I will ask the company to connect with you directly. They will be able to tell you which hospitals participate in the Pilot and will add other information. If you do, please send me all of this via Private Message.
