It sure sounds like he was having a bad day and I'm sorry he took it out on you. The news about Herceptin is good. I've got aches and pains from arimidex and my oncologist told me that it's so good at keeping cancer cells from growing that I should take it in spite of aches and pains. That's good news. You are early stage and node neg and have an excellent chance of being cured. The onc was having a bad day.
P.S. I had 9 months of herceptin and stopped due to drop in muga. I am convinced that 9 months was plenty for me.
