Re: Effectiveness of Estrogen blockers
Tiffany, thanks for sharing. My onc doesn't give tumor markers much weight. Now I understand why. I just went in for my exam and he drew blood and did a physical check. He said all appeard normal. I had to negotiage with him to see him again in 4 months as he wanted to schedule 6 months and I just finished Herceptin in OCT!!!! I thought we got every 3 months? I did agree to keep this damn port in for another year. I"m scared. Now I have to go in for Sclaretherapy shots today and argue with dr as to why I was denied HBO 6 weeks ago and could have completed all treatments now that I met my deductible this year and would have had NO co-pays! ARGGGG!
