hopingtolearn, yes, it's the grid. Veracyte will send you the grid upon request. The Veracyte phone rep told me that the doctors almost never request the grid for their records. It is most efficient to call veracyte directly. I think there is a request form.
Some of the information isn't useful now, but further research may make it useful in the future, though we hope not to have a future with prostate cancer.
PSE episwitch will not give you the grid they create and will only give you a likely/not likely response.
I went through Foundation 1 for somatic testing of a different tumor. They automatically send you the genetics of the tumor plus you are given a list of chemotherapeutic agents that are not effective against your tumor and a list of chemotherapeutic agents in clinical trials with the possibility of being effective against your tumor. Oh, and they give you links to the research involved.
Not only that but they called the hospital that performed the draw to begin a search for the biopsy material that the hospital forgot to send them . Best of all they saved me the the side effects of the three agents that all the medical oncologists prescribed. And they saved me from a port.

@gently thanks very much for the detailed response. All the best.

@gently I just called and was told it is only released to the physician that ordered it originally.
