In order to use the Signatera test by Natera for lung cancer, you must already have a confirmed cancer diagnosis. They sequence your specific tumor tissue to identify 16 unique genetic mutations and create a test tailored exclusively to your tumor. Blood draws then look for those specific mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to track treatment response and monitor for cancer recurrence.

@edivebuddy Hi Edivebuddy! Wow! You are a vast of knowledge! Thank you so much for your information on mesothelioma and telling me it is not the case from this recent scan. I appreciate you more than you know. All of you, I appreciate you greatly. Yesterday, I had a symptom day, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath. Called city of hope and was able to have my appointment moved up closer to Oct 9th, from nov 13th. A interm provider called me to ask about my symptoms and we discussed my situation. He was telling me from his experience in dealing with lung cancer for many years, overseeing my radiology report/scans, symptoms, location of leisons, he is 98 percent sure it will be a diagnosis of lung cancer. I was in complete shock to be honest buddy. Still hitting me like a ton of bricks. I didnt sleep a wink. He brought the possibility of a cancer called multifocal adenocarcinoma but said that my leisons are solid. Most of the time with multifocal adenocarcinoma, the leisons start off as GGO ground glass oppacities, not as solid. My mind is still in a blur. How are you doing my friend? I am definitely worried about seeing the pulmonologist on the 9th and hear what he has to say. He also said, should get another scan in 3 months to see if new leisons formed, changes in leisons and such. Hope you have a great day and thank you for being such a wonderful ambassador and a friend. Big hugs to you my friend. Talk to you soon.
