hi Prayer--
I didn't completely understand all the abbreviations you used, but I would love to help you. Call me if you'd like -- home 920-727-9433, cell 920-427-9300--then I can give you my opinion, for what it's worth. I'm in Wisconsin, so up until 10pm, central time, evenings or cell phone between 7 am and 10 pm, central time.

Don't give up if you think your insurance company won't pay. I wrote an 80-page report, spiral bound, copied to 12 people, both within and outside of my health plan, to convince them that I needed to go to an out-of-plan provider for my radiation treatments. I got my way, and furthermore, the HMO is now sending other women to this provider. So it does pay to present your case--be sure you have the data to support it :-)

If you don't have the time to call me, please go to the resources section of this website and read up on everything. If you are her2+, Herceptin is a literal life-saver.

Good luck!
Val
