Does insurance cover this? Do we get updates on new insights?

What we have been talking about is the fact that if you live in the United States And you have prostate cancer then you can get the hereditary genetic test for free from
http://Prostatecancerpromise.org
Don’t say you want your doctor involved when signing up for it. If you do that they won’t send you the kit until they speak to your doctor. After the test a geneticist will call you about the results.
While I was writing this @dailyeffort answered it. I edited this after the fact.
