I was told by a registrar ( not my surgeon ) at my first follow up appt at my nhs hospital ( in the uk ) that i couldnt have oopherectomy or prophylactic (sp ?) mastectomy until my 1 year of private hospital herceptin had finished in october.I wasnt given a reason and i didnt ask as i was shocked not to see my surgeon and the doctor didnt even seem to have opened my file. My private oncologist is not particularly interested, so I ve asked my gp to find out why the wait, i d not heard of problems healing on herceptin , but this may well be the answer i eventually receive.
