Re: Navarro Urine Test for Monitoring Breast Cancer

[Guest guest]

I believe the safe number is 40 and below. So it is going in the right

direction.

----------------

Moderator's note: On the Navarro test, a score of 50 or above, suggests that you

likely have cancer.

When the score is below 50, you probably do not have cancer.

If your score is moving downward, it would seem that your treatment is working.

I don't know the validity of this test, but many people seem

to find it fits their progress as compared with other testing they do.

had a lumpectomy and have clear margins. The Navarro test brought back a 53 the

first time I did it and a 51.4 the second time. Is this a sign that the cancer

is under control and at a " safe " level? Is it safe to assume that if I perform

this test every couple of months to see if the levels have changed, that the

cancer is still under control if the number does not rise substantially?

I dont have a clue but there is a website... www.cancercompass.com that has some

very knowledgeable people on there if you go to the message center and post your

question on there. The community there is very receptive & supportive & can

tell you most anything you need to know about this test. Good luck & God

bless... Lola

No test is 100% for any result and of course, all of us are happier to get a

test indicating we do not have cancer.

Besides a CT-Scan that missed a small tumor in my bladder, so did another test,

The AMAS test which some are also heralding. Additionally, a Cystoscope

examination also missed it but an often failed test, a Urine Cytology picked it

up and at the time I though it was a false positive because of the tests that

missed it.

Other than reading a negative comment about the Navarro Test, I have no evidence

it is not reliable. Perhaps a more knowledgeable person can reveal more

information for you.
