Chelee's third opinion - Dr. Slamon!
 

"
Hi Harrie, So far I have two 2nd opinions set-up. One with the onc Joe recommended that has a very impressive backround...can't wait to go see her.

Then just today it wasn't easy but I managed to get a 2nd opinion with Dr. Slamon. He is a very busy man & only consults one or two days a month now. At first they told I couldn't get in till November. Its a long story but I got a call back and he will see me next week. I feel so relieved. Thanks for asking.

The above was buried in another post, but I wanted to give it the mention it is due! WAY TO GO, Woman! Grab that Mets Bull by the horns and put it in the ring with the best matador onc you can find.

Hope you don't mind my tooting YOUR horn for you and I know you are exhausted with this whole thing by now. You did the max and it is time to kick back a bit and let the time pass. Shall we play "Bolero" for you while you wait??

Chelee,

Great news!! I met Dr. Slamon at the Breast Cancer Symposium in Toronto this past March - he is so well spoken, nice and down to earth, never mind being the "father" of Herceptin.
Please keep us posted.

Hi Steph, No...I don't mind you tooting my horn at all. :) I've just been so busy with calls & getting records sent here & there...it's been alot of work and I'll still not done. So time consuming. It's been hard to check in on the board...I'm on over load but I'll feel so much better after I see Dr. Slamon. I am so thankful he is going to see me this quickly. I still can't believe I'm going to get into see him...I was in tears when I got off the phone...it was such a relief!

I am so looking forward to meeting "the man" himself. I've researched and learned so much about Dr. Slamon over the last 3 yrs & 9 months...not to mention hearing from people that have been seen by him...I can't explain how excited I am to get to talk to him. (Finally in this nightmare of mine I get some peace of mind...that I am so thankful for.) It must be all the prayers that made this happen. Thanks to all.

Chelee
