Smile Lizocean

Hi Team! A new member, Lizocean, has posted in the Herceptin/Tykerb "room" and has voiced concerns regarding her treatment and trying to find a doctor in the Oregon/Idaho region. I'm not an expert, but something sounds funny about her current doctor's course of treatment for her. Several of our members have responded and given her good advice, but I thought I'd throw the matter into this room, too, if that's ok. If anyone can help her, you can.

I just sent Lizocean a PM with info about Drs in the Spokane, WA area. I definitely think she should seek a second opinion as she is concerned about not receiving Herceptin even though she is Her2+.
