A new affordable genetics testing for Breast & Ovarian Cancer was in yesterday's news!!! The price for BRCA testing went from $4K to around $249.00. YESSS --about time ! You submit a saliva sample at home then mail it in to the labs. As I am pondering getting the testing because of second degree relatives with BC on both my parents' sides, this is AWESOME. Even with my current insurance coverage, I would have to meet the $2500 deductible so not real affordable. My genetics doc would write the order for it. I hope many of us can now do this simple test, especially if you have a daughter like I do and wonder if I do or don't carry a mutation....
