My GI doc called yesterday (who I haven't seen since the colonoscopy in Dec) and offered me the testing for HPNCC at a local center. I go on Thurs next week. The woman that I spoke with said insurance may or may not pay for it and that if they didn't it could cost $2,000! I want the testing, but I just pray the insurance will pay for it. I really can't pay for it right now with all the other bills. She did say that if I am tested and am positive, that my siblings could be tested and it would only cost they about $400 (since they would have my baseline DNA). I thought that was interesting.
Good luck to you with your testing. I know there are other genetic possibilities out there, but they believe this is most likely with my family history.
