Tara,

Here's my two cents worth: I'd find another oncologist. Seriously. If he couldn't answer your questions, he should have offered to make some calls so that he could. If he was angry about you not showing up for your first appointment, he showed amazing insensitivity. His lack of concern about a possible incorrect diagnosis is incredible. I guess I figure if he'd overlook this very basic issue (HER + or not), then what else will he gloss over as you go through treatment?

I'm sorry you've experienced such confusion in diagnosis. It's hard enough when all the facts present themselves clearly.
