I did end up getting the test. My insurance did not cover it, and I could not shell out the $5K for the test so I applied for the company’s financial assistance and they covered the cost. I was having a lot of issues with Anastrozole and dreaded that I might be advised to stay on it. The test showed I had less than a 3% likelihood of recurrence and there was only a very modest additional benefit of staying on the medicine. So my oncologist was comfortable letting me come off it. Slowly over the course of 6-9 months I’ve gotten my quality of life back and that aspect has to weigh into the decision. The test just informs the decision you and your oncologist make. Best of luck.
