oh Steph I will check into that for sure.. Bonnie, I was thinking the same thing. too many obstacles keep popping up. It all seemed doable 4 weeks ago when I inquired about this and now the doors are shutting it seems. Steph I will check into this for sure. it sounds like you get the vaccine at one time and then go for a year? the one in baltimore had so many follow ups and weekly herceptin treatments while getting the vaccine. I mean it sounds great and would be awesome if I lived closer and could drive in for a the weekly treatments. You ladie's have helped me jsut like I knew you would. No one on this earth knows how we feel but our sisters on this board. thank God for each of you and your thoughts, prayers and opinons. I will call today and cancel the plane tickets and the appt. I can use the ticket credit at another time and maybe even for my husband and I to go to seattle. we have several friends there with the military so lodging may not be a problem but even a night in the hotel sounds inviting. thanks again ladies. Bonita
