Herceptin denial
Alaska Angel - I am in the same boat - 3 years since lumpectomy and about 2 1/2 out of treatment and my onc. refuses Herceptin saying it is too far out of chemo. I don't visit this site very often but have seen your posts on the bc support page. What can we do about this? Can we just call various oncologists in our areas and ask for a consultation until we find someone who cares? I am really disappointed that Herceptin was not offered with my original treatment. I did ask for it and the onc. said you'll get it if you have a recurrance! I know it is no good arguing with my onc. - he is good but firm in his decisions. Would love to talk to you about strategies. (Hope I can post this as I have not been on this board for ages.)
