Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
Ladies,
I appreciate all the information and I am still wondering. But after me and my oncologist spoke he told me that the Board would not even approve him to give me Herceptin or Chemo due to my tumor size 1.5mm. He said I can get a second opinion if I wanted to and he would set it up in Kansas City but that is a 4 hour drive from here, I am out of vacation and sick leave even though I am on FMLA I would miss out on a lot of money to drive for the second opinion. I just don't know what to do now? And I am 41 years old - thank you for the wonderful comment about my photo AlaskaAngel...
