Do what you can for yourself in the meantime. Unless you have a history of ulcers or kidney or liver disease, it would seem it would be safe to take Aleve from the supermarket. Don't you have an internist who could OK that for you in view of your other medical problems (decreased lung capacity, etc)
It is an antiinflammatory which has both antiaromatase and antiangiogenic properties.
I remember you said you are on an HMO. Look into the California state program which allows you to see any doctor for breast cancer treatment (talked about before on this board--contact your local American Cancer Society or breast cancer advocacy group (Susan Komen?) to find out more about it or perhaps someone on the board can give you more information.
Good luck--remember to take one step forward every day (get information, make a contact, find out about another resource to help you) rather than focusing on what has/or has not been done in the past. It is much more likely to get you over this!
