Re: IT Herceptin needed in Canada
Wishing you the best. I am on IT Herceptin and had to travel from South Dakota to Austin to get it. Luckily my daughter lives 3 hours from Austin so I live with her. Like you I was frantic! But don't give up I believe that I was led to where I am - it wasn't just chance. Believe that you will find your hope as well.
