i did not have guardant and am not familiar with it. i saw at geneticist at the University of Miami in 2000 and she ordered the most comprehensive genetic testing at the time. i did not have cancer and fortunately have not had cancer yet. No oncologists were involved in the genetic testing decision making. However, my neuro-opthamologist was involved because my eyes were exhibiting potential symptoms of a “movement disorder”. i tested negative for a movement disorder but had an incidental finding of an ATM gene mutation. That mutation places me at high risk for breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. I am on high risk protocols for all three forms of cancer. And then i’m on high alert monitoring for my meningioma. At times, i feel like i “live in an MRI tube”. i did not get the sense that i was expected to have followup genetic testing and i’m
not going to suggest it. At this point, i feel i may know more than i wish to know about my potential health risks. i want to focus on maximizing my quality of life. I spend too much time in medical facilities

i just read about guardant. I had a very different type of genetic testing done.

We just returned from Fred Hutch in Seattle. Second opinion with doctor there and I asked if we should have the guardant done again, and he said no. And our oncologist here did not seem to recommend it either.
