Re: when the doctor (oncologist) has her2+ breast cancer
Lani, thank you for posting this about Dr. Smith, I had read about her a while back. I was so moved by her and her truth. She was a great inspiration to me during the long first year of dx. as I struggled to find the right treatment for me. As an onc. she knew that Her2 requires a tough battle - hence she choice aggressive treatment. Her strength and attitude is
simply beautiful.
