Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?

Don't forget that YOU are in charge. You dont have to have anyone's permission to go get a second opinion. You just request your records and take them to the appointment. It would be great, of course, if you and your onc came to an understanding. Keep the faith. Let us know what happens.
