@flowergal - Sorry I am responding only today!

I want to first address the test I talked about (PreludeDX). It is used to forecast reoccurrence with and without Radiation Treatment. You have already had radiation, so it would not be used for decision-making but rather to provide helpful information. It's only done for DCIS patients like you and me, so you do fit the parameters for requesting this test. Knowledge is power!

"DCISionRT is easily ordered by your breast care doctor. An order request can simply be faxed by your doctor’s office to PreludeDx. Our Care Team will take care of locating your original biopsy or surgical specimen and provide results to your doctor within 2-3 days from receipt—no additional biopsy or surgery is required."

In my case, PreludeDX was ordered by my radiation oncologist. But it can be ordered by your surgeon or your medical oncologist. If you have any questions, you can also call the company's Patient Care Team at 888-211-3247.

HUGS!
