That’s great Dinu. Too bad you couldn’t tell us that in last night’s meeting. Hopefully you did get a lot of new information from the meeting.
They were recommending you get a somatic genetic test first and then get the hereditary test once you see the results. The somatic one will have your hereditary information in it so you will get that answer right away even though you do the second test later. The second test will tell you just what you got from your heredity and may have fewer things than the somatic test. Since your cancer was just diagnosed, it’s unlikely that the somatic test will show anything new, but you never know.
