BINGO!!!!!!! I wish I could talk to every woman about this test.....some oncologists really really avoid this test for a very good reason....I for one am not convinced this test does anything more than put more fear and panic out there. During my treatment for ovarian cancer a woman sat next to me receiving chemo for ovarian cancer....she had both breasts removed and complete hysterectomy and she still got ovarian cancer.....would not have believed it if I didn't witness first hand.....please be careful with this test!
