When I was diagnosed with breast cancer the first time, the breast surgeon ordered the genetic testing. She only tested for BRCA. Then my son had to test at 35 and much more extensive testing was done thru color.com. I did that testing as well because they also do pharmacogenetic testing and I have so many adverse reactions to meds I wanted to know why. It turns out a lot of the liver enzymes needed to properly metabolize drugs are messed up in me explaining why meds become toxic, do damage and are not effective. I think the current price is around $250? That testing is also what discovered my CHEK2 mutation. They test for about 30 cancer genes. Im not sure it would help identify any NETs risk though.
