Decipher test

Last reply: 22 November 2024 15:27

Hi
Does anyone know if the Decipher genomic testing is available anywhere in Ireland?
Also, re. Psma PET scan, does anyone know the hospital with the shortest waiting list to do this privately? Currently the best I have found is Blackrock, 10 weeks...
Thank you

I've been told by my oncology nurse that there is a 2 week waiting list for a clinic in Eindhoven in the Netherlands that they sometimes use in the Beacon. I was waiting on a PSMA Pet scan for about 4 weeks but apparently the tracer drug has failed and this has resulted in significant delays
