Breast Cancer Index: What's your experience?

It isn't that men aren't eligible. The Breast Cancer Index is a test to determine whether more than 5 years of hormonal therapy is of benefit. Women whose cancer is estrogen-negative, like men, have no reason to take the test. In other words, anyone not on Tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor has no reason to do the Breast Cancer index.

My oncologist looked into getting the test for me (I've been on Tamoxifen for 5 years). We found out that the FDA has not approved the test for men. Therefore no insurance coverage either
