Jen: you might call your local Community Mental Health Center. You may find that there are some good therapists there. Unfortunately, they may also have a waiting list but if so they should be able to refer you to a good therapist in your area. As long as you stick to seeing either an LCSW, a PH.D psychologist or a psychiatrist, your insurance will probably pay for at least part of it. I think its too bad that your onc couldn't refer you to someone. It's too bad when docs think of the mind as being seperate from the body. I'm sure they refer for any type of phyical problem.
I also had Herceptin today. I haven't noticed any stomach aches. I do get a little tired for the first 24 hours but other than that, I haven't noticed much. Good luck and I do think its a great idea to include the kids. Even my 21 y/o had a really hard time when I was diagnosed and I was so busy handling my own crisis, it took me a while to see it and I'm supposed to know how to spot those things.BERTA
