signatera test in Ontario-anyone doing it?
I have stage 1a N0 p53 abn serous endometrial carcinoma, 5 months post surgery and one chemo left. I havw been reading good things about the ctdna tests on this sub, did some research, reached out to Natura, and found out they offer the testing up here through the life lab chain ,by prescription -not covered by Ohip, but covered by private insurance, or paid (expensive) out of pocket. I asked my Onc about it , and was i was surprised to find out that she did not think that much of it, she was borderline dismissive and made it sound like it was a waste of time? Thing is, this cancer is aggressive, recurrence is expected, and my CA 125 ( which they test every visit) is not a reliable marker , mine was well within normal and dropped only a little bit after chemo started. if this gives some advance notice of something brewing, i think it’s worth pursuing. Does anyone in Ontario do this testing? Did you encounter resistence from your Dr? How do theyhandle results? Thanks in advance…..
