Re: surgery complications - or what?
Pam, you are going through so much yourself and you took time to comfort me. Than you so much. I have to get my bloodwork done this week and I will be seeing my onc on Jan 3rd. Hope all goes well for you. When they tried to switch my Herceptin with Tykerb I had a very hard time and I had very bad diarrhea. I couldn't take it. Best wishes! Mary L
