But my question here is how do I get the doc (not LL)to send part of my ovary or the cyst to igenex for testing and how much does it cost?
Thanks you guys!
Also ---you guys carry an extra sign for me! Wishing I could be there!!!!! (at the rally) trails

I would call or email Igenex for this question.

Definitely call IGeneX first and ask them specifically what condition the specimen has to be in - what preservatives to avoid, etc.
When I had my liver biopsy due to Ketek damage, my LLMD decided after the fact that it might be interesting to send it to IGeneX, too. But the pathology lab where I had the biopsy done had already used some kind of chemicals and had processed it in such a way that neither IGenex nor MDL could work with it.
Good luck, Jill
