Thank you Angel!
I had a moment of clarity while driving today. (After I drove past my exit in a fog! lol). I have been feeling great pressure to DO something. Or I should say, I am being scheduled for treatments I have not decided upon yet. I know time is of the essence but since at this moment I am considered to be NED, and since the suggestions of Herceptin with or without chemo are for preventative measures I am wondering if I have time for another opinion. Since no one seems to agree what is best in my case. Do you have any experience with how long I might delay this process? It has been 2 months since my bilateral mastectomy. I am taking Femara.....
Have any of you waited in these circumstances?
