I did lots of reading last night about Her2. Very enlightening. I'm learning a lot about the treatments she will be having and the Herceptin, etc.
Thank you for the encouraging words. Mom had a much better day yesterday. This is something you never truly understand, until you or a loved one experiences it. My sister-in-law & I have discovered a key to lifting her spirits: have the grandchildren call her or go see her!! (they are 11, 9, 8, & 4) That seems to get her mind off things, while she waits for results from the scans. She has not had a brain scan. I will have her ck w/ the Onc about that. As far as a 2nd opinion, it sounds like it was the breast clinic & their pathology dept that 'missed' the cancer, and even the Oncologist doesn't seem to think it was human error. Mom's breasts are very dense, and it seems that machinery just isn't enough to 'see' anything. Mom also didn't push and insist, as she was trustworthy of the testing.
Lessons learned the hard way, I guess. But we push forward.
Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is a Mystery. Today is a Gift.
