Re: 2nd opinion question?
Hi Steph, No I didn't think to ask about a cancellation list...I was so darned disappointed when they gave me Oct. 20th. I knew I wouldn't get in tomorrow...but I seriously had no idea they would make it almost 3 wks away. (With the delay my onc caused me getting this authorization thru...that makes it a total of almost 6 wks wait time...that doesn't seem right when dealing with stage IV Her2 bc.) Let alone the yr since my TM'ers starting creeping up. 
I know Her2 isn't considered slow growing so it's hard to sit and wait as you all know. But I am going to call them tomorrow and ask them to put me on that list. Thanks for the idea Steph...much appreciated. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky.
Chelee
