I'm writing on behalf of Marcia (Soccermom1955). She lives in S Mississippi and is currently living in a hotel in FL, unsure of when she'll be able to return home.
She finished A/C and T at the end of May. She and her oncologist had decided this summer to add herceptin after the trials closed with the great evidence. She started weekly herceptin in August. She had just finished her 4th treatment (of 52 planned) the week before the hurricane.
She doesn't know when she'll be able to get her next treatment. Her question is, do any of you think there will be an impact on her by missing several weeks of treatment? How important is it that she try to figure out a way to get it ASAP? I know it's not as important as missing a "normal" chemo treatment, but what are everyone's thoughts?
Thanks in advance - Rose
