Re: thought this might make your day,week, year--the day may be approaching that some

That would be great! I didn't get Herceptin in 2004 partly because "my tumor was too small to warrant chemo". I'm fine, though, so perhaps I didn't need it.

I have problems with my immune system though. I had a botched root canal procedure done by my previous dentist and developed allergies/intolerance to most dental materials. This caused lots of medical problems, ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome to dizzy spells, mouth sores, abcessed teeth, skin problems etc. And then I developed BC.

Once I had all the fillings, and rootcanals replaced my health improved and hopefully my risk of recurrence plummeted.
