New member - switching from ASCP to here.

[Cmdrdata]

Hello everyone, I just joined this group. See my profile for details. I am currently interested in joining clinical trial for PARP Inhibitors as I am approaching mCRPC.

Welcome. I think many of us will be confused when you say you are switching from ASCP (what is that?) to here. Can you please clarify ?

[Cmdrdata in reply to Darryl]

Sorry Darryl. ASCP is a newsgroup support group that's been around for a while. It stands for alt.support.prostate.cancer, thus the ASCP abbreviation. Many of the members here are still sharing info there.

Thanks. I am on Medicare+Plan F. Do they cover this test? If not what is the approximate out of pocket cost?

I have only blood to give...no tumor material. Will the MO accept results from foundation one's liquid biopsies?

Bill, I think this post was not intended for me, right?

No Cmdrdata...it was for Nalakrats...sorry for the mix up
