Re: 32 year old w/ HER2+++/Mitral Valve Prolapse & Herceptin???
SunDiego,
If you haven't already done so, try doing a search in the various forums here by keywords to see if there have been any other threads or posts in the past from someone with a similar question or comment.
It might be reasonable also to get the perspective on this from Dr. Susan Love. Your wife's situation is complicated.
For quite a period of time Dr. Love stood pretty much alone in recognizing the hazards of estrogen while most doctors were adamantly continuing to prescribe it. She may have some suggestions for consideration that could be helpful in regard to your wife's hormonal status and various therapies available.
