    This is so exciting! The possibilities to catch cancer in it's earliest stages will help so many people.

    Wow, this is incredible news. This would contribute to the rescue of many people who were unaware of their health situation. The need for phlebotomists will skyrocket as a result of technological advancement. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if there weren't enough people to do the job. But it's not unreal since there are so many options, especially when a phlebotomy technician course costs from $700 to $1,400. As a result, it's wonderful that so many people will have the opportunity to be healthy.

    Wow, that IS good news! Thanks for sharing, Forherself!

    I wonder how long it will be until there’s been enough research and data collection to make this widely available? My greatest fear is that if I have a recurrence I’ll be Stage III or IV before I have symptoms. And as y’all heard me complain previously, for me, that CA125 is useless except as a severe anxiety producer!
