Oh Chelee, this is just so unfair! Do you still trust your onc? It seems several things have gone wrong over the past few years, and perhaps you need another doc. You need to feel safe with your doc in the coming years. It seems to me that you are not getting answers to some very pertinent questions. Do you have any support from people near you? Is there anyone who could sort this mess for you? Or at least help you do it?

I find the fact that your TM's dropped from just Herceptin very reassuring. It seems it's doing its trick once again. I would ring dr. S's office and explain about your new diagnosis. Ask them if this changes your plan. Would they suggest the same treatment plan, or do they think something else would be better.

I know you are panicky right now, but a few days of phoning and talking to docs won't change the outcome much. You are already seeing improvement from your vit H. Take deep breaths and ask questions that you need to get answered before you can decide on anything. In the mean time: we are here!

Hugs
