Hi Jessica,
You're right, I am amazed and impressed by the women on this site, as well as women as a whole. The support systems that are available and the focus on this disease is all because of the strength and diligence of women like you. I know who is really the stronger sex (but don't tell my wife)!
It's funny but I have found Susan Love's site to be all that helpful but I guess I'll have to go back and take a closer look. This is the site that I have found to be far the most useful.
That's fantastic news that your doing so well on the Herceptin. We asked about particpating in Herceptin trials but was told by her Onc that the dose dense makes her ineligible. I'm planning to ask again since I really want her to get the herceptin along with the taxane, since it seems to be more effective that way. Her Onc, though, has made it clear that the insurance company may make it tough there. I hope not since I'm convinced that it's in my wife's best interest.
Glad to hear that you have a breast specialist...I looked for my wife but couldn't find one that was recommended outside of Sloan and they're out of network and my wife didn't want to travel that far anyway.
Thanks for responding and keep surprising your Onc. Eric
