Hi Carm and Nellie - Sorry to intrude, but I also have the same concerns as Nellie. I am scheduled to take the Braca test and don't think insurance will cover. My Onc is trying to write up to cover me, but I have concerns. I am triple negative with two tumors identified. I am adopted with no family history, which seems to be a requirement. It seems like most people with triple negative are positive for this gene. Which makes me nervous. Any suggestions on how to get this covered? Thanks all!

Oh carm THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!! I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP !!!! If i could give you a hug I would !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onc/genetics person asked me if I wanted to do the BRCA and because I have a daughter and sister and 2 nieces, I wanted to know if I carried the mutation. Then I could also think about having hysterectomy etc. The test was done at cancer center I go to for chemo. Yes, I have visited patientadvocate.org, but it has been awhile.
