@spikeb1- Good morning. Did you have a biopsy? Perhaps call the surgeon's office that did the biopsy and ask if genetic testing was done. Your sample should still be around and they can still test it. That's how mine was done.

I did have a biopsy but not sure if they did genetic testing. Is it possible that they wait for staging to do that. I had nothing show up in PET Scan and all nodes removed during surgery were negative. So how important is it that it be done now? If I ever have a reoccurrence, I suppose it could be done then?

I will check with them though. Thanks!
