My Guardant360 liquid biopsy Sept10, 2019 found no Circulating DNA. Am I done finished with Genomic testing? My Med Onc said I have no BRCA genes to ID yet. Time to confront my Med Onc about
How about a Foundation One Genomic blood or tumor test? I’ve heard that:
Foundation One will test 328 Genes---the last I knew, and you can get the PD-1 and PD-L1 markers determined at the same time. May be able to throw in AR-V7 Gene Splices--which can indicate effectiveness of Xtandi, and Zytiga,
My reasoning is:
I’m having my 2nd set of CT scans Pelvis, Abs, Chest and NM total body bone Scan June 8th one week from Monday. When those results(June 9th) show “tumors” growing rampantly in around my prostate gland, pelvic lymph nodes and abdominal lymph nodes, should not this warrant a Foundation One Genomic blood or tumor test??
Caveat: maybe I should not be so pessimistic in my Scan results that I haven’t even got yet.
Worried, Depotdoug? maybe.
