Should I Look My Oncologist For Genetic Testing?
I am 64 year old female with advanced bcc I have been on erivedge for three months, I was to have my 6th mohs surgery but am taking medication instead. Should I look into having genetic testing for this cancer since it has reoccured so often and am on this medicine? I have not ask my oncologist about this but have been reading on this web site some think it is a good idea.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this is good idea but now this wont work any more as long as the question of malignancy is concern, because it is already taken placed now the chemotherapy is the only option you have and that you have to follow hope this information helps you have a nice day.
