Thanks for the info japdip. Not sure about the double posting deal. I don't see it double posted. Though if you are referring to the best answer it copies the post that the poster selects (regardless where on the page) and posts it up top. We have a few of those on the Herpes community where it looks werid because something we said 5 responses down gets selected and copied to the top. :-)
Sorry about the double post .... that happens sometimes :)
Ins. does pay for the Genetic testing if it is deemed necessary by the Physician ... I'm not sure but perhaps either a Breast Specialist or Oncologist would be more likely to order this on a routine basis. I understand about how difficult you find it to may her see things your way ... I'm rather stubborn myself (most women are) ... you know most of the time this denial is due to the fear that something might be wrong. Some women who qualify for Genetic testing choose not to have it done .... they prefer NOT to live under the cloud of knowing. Do the best you can ....
Thanks Japdip. I appreciate the response. It's hard because I want to get a water hose out and squirt her to get her to check herself and be more on to it then she is. But it's difficult being the friend.
Do you know if the genetic test is something insurance will pay for usually? Is this something that her primary care doctor can order or needs to order?
