Stage III, er+, her+++, lymph node involvement, bilateral mastectomies, chemo a/c then taxol. Now taking herceptin for 1 year..."give or take" as my onc says.
As the others suggested, I would get a 2nd opinion.
Additionally, I am concerned that your primary caregiver in this battle against cancer is running a factory and not more communicative and supportive with you. We need our Docs to be our partners in this fight, not authority figures that pooh pooh our questions and concerns and rush us out the door like school children being dismissed. I had a breast surgeon who acted like that, I found another.
Hopefully, if this Onc cannot provide you with a level of comfort, by getting a 2nd opinion, you will find someone who does.
Best of luck to you
Gina
