Thank you one and all for responding. And Donna you hit it on the nail head....those women who are newly dx and DO NOT KNOW.... or maybe not even have a computer to do research...
so many what if's....
My concern for other newly dx. women is that they are able to read easy information (how about flyers breast health care centers) to get more information out.
As many of you know I was seen at three top hosptials in NY...yet I had to insist on having a FISH test done.
But please remember also I was not having chemo/or/herceptin at the time ordered from any of these dr. since standard of care of radiation/and/AI.
I was just wondering how we as women educate or have more information out there in offices, breast health
care centers...where women are waiting for mammograms etc. to have this type of information at their hands.
Just call me concerned...as I hear so much of this.
Thank you one and all for responding....
