Kate,

she's all the time talking to her gynocologist who has supposedly some knowledge of oncology. So far, it's been good. I just hung up with her to let her know about the 2 responses and she said noone in the hospital (she's at home right now) ever talked about physiotherapy for the arm. Noone told her about cremes or lotions to keep the tissue soft. There will be another meeting with the doc this week and she will talk to him. Unfortunately, she's located in Germany and I guess over there you really have to take care of things on your own. I've asked her to send me copies of all her reports and medication so I can do some research here. Also, since she's on Herceptin, noone so far (on Herceptin about 4 months) has done a check-up on her heart, not even before surgery.... Not sure if that's suppose to be the case, but I thought especially with Herceptin and the side effects to the heart this is important.
