Re: NOW this IS ASTOUNDING!!!!!
Navigating breast cancer care can be brutal after a diagnosis. The Her2 support website was a god send.
I didn't just want to beat cancer. I wanted to be able to use my experience to improve treatment options for future breast cancer patients. I don't feel my doctors really understood that. They felt I'm just being a difficult patient.
I think the rest of you on the site understand - we are just looking to receive the best possible care that is available at the time of diagnosis. And we want to option to find clinical trials. The best thing about this site is I find others who understand and feel similarly.
Lani, you are forever finding and posting the latest news about breast cancer and frequently interpreting it. Sometime I read it and make fruit salad - comparing apples and oranges. I can say from your postings I have a good education on Her2 breast cancer.
That is a lot of posting!
