Hi Laurie,
It's been a long time. How are you doing? David Ruebeck is great. The only problem I had is that he looks soooo young! It made me feel sooooo old! Also, advice for both you and Kim, he is very busy so get on the schedule asap. He does surgery at Fairview, Abott and North Memorial and has two offices. Dr. Bowers, my onc. has been on that top doctors list in Mpls. St Paul Magazine for almost 20 years now. That one that is out right now is a very abbreviated version compared to previous ones. I don't know what is up with that. It is a good resource though, because those are doctor's opionions of other doctors. My brother in law is one, and he gives a lot of merit to that report.
Now, about Herceptin. I have not asked her about it. I am planning to. I am due to finish June 1 with my year. I am hoping something conclusive comes out before that about it. My problem is that I don't have a port, and my veins are retreating into exile. Every time it is getting harder and harder to find them. If I continued, I would need a port. Also, I was node negative, so she may conclude that one year is enough. I will post and let you know when I talk to her about it, but I am puposely waiting until spring when the HERA trial is to end to see if anything new comes from it.
Nice to hear from you again. It is interesting to see posts from around the world and then find two "sisters" right here at home.
God Bless,
Cheryl
