For any male breast cancer patients that may be following this thread... I had hoped to have this analysis performed, but was informed it is not approved by FDA for male breast cancer patients.

I wish there was a little more energy put into to identifying ways to reach and help male breast cancer patients. So many forget that men get breast cancer too. Can you tell me more about your journey? Roadblocks to diagnosis or treatment?

That may be because these tests assess the effects of estrogen, and presumably men have less estrogen anyway. Women with ER- breast cancer also don't benefit- or have a reason to take the Breast Cancer Index test.
