Hello Julie,
I also live in Bay Area. Are you a CA native? About 75% of CA residents are from OUT of state, so I happen to be part of the 25% CA-born folks.
I had 2 other 2nd opinions on breast cancer treatments. Plus, I occasionally get additional input from another doctor's sister (who is an onc for breast cancer at Harvard Dana Farber) through my brother's local network.
I was able to get Herceptin off-label in San Francisco.
f you want to get my 2 cents, you are welcome send an email to me at:
acrobaticfan@yahoo.com.
Good luck! :-)
