Thanks for all the advice..
I went to my today...
and got no where.
He said, that there is no conclusive study, saying that Herceptin, after the fact will help.. My arguement, is that it " can't hurt either" So.. we are on a stand off on that.
Next problem is insurance. I was on the medicaid program, and they cancelled me... They claim, they only cover " chemo. rads, and the 5 years on Tomoxifen. If you're not on the Tomoxifen... they cancel you.
So..Until i get the insurance re-instated... I am screwed.
Also.. I told him, about my arm, I have been having problems with it for 2 months, as far as ROM. it started in my upper arm & shoulder , but the pain now is going past the elbow.
I went to the ER the other morning, thinking that with the arm pain, and then it went into my shoulder and frontal chest area, I thought it was a heart attack, being, it hurts when I breath.. It turned out to be an en-flamed chest wall.
but.. it still doesn't explaine the arm pain.. so, in for a scan we go.
I would rather be safe than sorry. Also i am going Weds. for a stress test.
I wish i would hurry up and win the lottery! LOL
