Hi! lilacs777:

Thanks for the info regarding the 'Signatera' test, for I am really interested in this test. Could you please let us know whether we should contact that company directly or via our medical oncologist? If our medical oncologist does not want us to do this test, how do we contact "them" directly to do this special blood test?

Thanks in advance for your help:) Best wishes to everybody in this journey going forward!

I couldn't find a local oncologist that would order it for me, which was frustrating. Signatera requires it to be ordered thru a doctor, you can't request it yourself directly. However, Dr Funk (the one who famously did Angelina Jolie's BMX) lets you order through her site - pink lotus. I think its really amazing she lets patients do that.

The company is Natera based in California. You can contact them directly for information. I believe any doc can issue a script but they will need tissue sample from wherever your surgery was performed so … usually the oncologist makes the referral.

I believe they cannot yet charge if insurance declines.
