waiting for oncologist now in the office
 
What questions should I ask my doctors? I've been waiting over an hour and half and am getting irritated. SO far I KNOW I Need to get my MRI cd an reports from bloodwork. She wants me to add Lapatinib to my Herceptin and Aromatase Inhibitor Femera routine. It will cost $1,000 a month for Lapatinib, may cause Liver damage, Diareaha, cardiac toxicity, but it may increase survival. Hmm, I'm going to ask about the vaccine trials, and my tumor is shrinking, so I feel maybe I should continue what I'm doing because it's working and save the Lapatinib for a last resort if needed.

Sorry you had to wait; I have been there too. But hopefully it's because you have a doctor who gives patients all the time they need to ask questions. How did your appt go?

I know it's a bit late got this, but the Tykerb people have financial help for Tykerb. Paperwork not bad and customer support was good. Just call them!
