Ugh, this is what I was looking for a few posts down. Thank you. No this is just plain Laura not Laura K. I am extremely interested in this procedure. I wonder if anyone else has this done in the U.S. Anyone out there!!? I wonder if the labs would allow us to pay out of pocket for the expense. Not that I am excited about that but still. I know the machine that can test mulitiple disease for NBS is pretty expensive. I wonder how that would figure into the expense. I am calling them Monday. I am in Ohio, I hop, skip and jump from there. Thanks so much!
