Sheila,
I always see the PA on Day 10. My husband went with me this time, as we wanted to get a real gauge on the office's interpretation and solution to the neuropathy and steroid issue...
She didn't really say anything to try to make #6 seem like I HAD to do it, or that not doing it would be a HUGE mistake. She actually seemed to think that the issues I was having were a good reason to not do #6.
I still have Herceptin for a year, radiation, and tamoxifen. I think that if I didn't have those coming up, it would be a different story. I am going to call my friend who is a nurse there to see what she thinks and to see what the doctor might have said...
Thanks for responding. My computer has been funky for a day or so, and I am just getting back on the board and able to post. Sorry it took me this long to answer you back!
