Talking Waiting for insurance approval

I saw my onc yesterday and we talked about Herceptin. He gave me the same story line about how Herceptin has not been tested with those who had chemo years ago but after hearing me say that I wanted to do everything possible at this point to not get a recurrance, he approved it! Yeah!!!

So, we are waiting to see if Pacificare will cover this - and I should know by early next week.

Hugs,
