2nd opinion for 20 year old
 
The gal i'm helping went to her 2nd opinion today. wow, what a differnence a dr. makes!! The last one just wanted to do tamoxifen and that was it! This one is going to start her next week on chemo. Adramyacin cytoxin and the Taxol. They are also going to recheck her HEr2 status with FISh. The family really like this dr. I'm glad that she is finally given a chance to fight. (and he said DONT TAKE the birth control pills!!)

What a great thing you did for them, and thank God this doctor is being more aggressive. Tamoxifen, phew-y. *fine in its right place, not as primary therapy for an aggressive cancer.

I do get a little opinionated some times ;-)
