Hello @bruceb and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to learn of your cancer reoccurrence. What are you most interested in connecting with others on given this news?
I am a Stage 2 bladder cancer patient in remission since last year. Am interested in taking the Galleri test as a less invasive method of checking for recurrence and other cancers. However, I have read that this test may result in high levels of false positives.
I am currently taking a Signatera test by Natera which is designed to detect residual cancer for my specific cancer specimen. I believe it uses similar technology as the Galleri test. It is covered by my insurance.

I had not heard of either test. I’ll ask my doctor. Thanks
