Signatera Test. Is it truly helpful and worthwhile?

I have had this test quarterly for two years. My oncologist finds it useful in that it has cut my PET scans down first to every 6 months to now yearly. If I have symptoms or if the test is positive we will do a PET sooner. I find that helps me mentally. My oncologist is concerned about all the radiation from repeated scans over years.

I have had 2 pet/ct which definitely worry about radiation exposure.
Since your Onc is worried may I ask how many you have had?

I am interested in the Signatura testing, as are several friends in my mets group. So far, it is not available (not being offered) to us. Are you receiving care in the US? Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.
