What's your experience been with CTC tests?

Hi everyone

I'm Sunitha, was diagnosed with 3b epithelial high grade ovarian cancer in Nov last; been through debulking and six rounds of chemo; on follow up Avastin. Have my next PET scan in October.

I'm seeing an integrated oncologist (recommended by my gynac onco) who told me about a Circulating Tumour Cells blood test that can help predict a recurrence at an early stage.

Have any of you had this offered to you? And if so, is there a real benefit (in addition to ultrasounds and PET scans).

Thank you!
