Early cancer detection Galleri test: Anybody using it?

I had the test about 2 months ago. Simple blood draw. I have difficult to diagnose symptoms and read about it in AARP. Since then, I have seen it other places. I took it based on the cleveland clinic article. I suggest that you read about it on the Grail website. What I like about it is that in a study they found it had some accuracy for cancers that normally do not have any routine screening test available such as ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. Plus I had a positive on the cologard test and a follow up colonoscopy. But that the colonoscopy did not cover small bowel cancer. What I do not like about it is that it was $945 out of pocket. I do believe it is the screening of the future. They just need to make it covered by medicare and other health plans.

Hi Hopeful 2:
Did you deal with Grail Therapeutics directly or through your doc? I have not had cancer but do have family history—would really like to know if I am dealing with something serious as soon as possible.
