Late Herceptin
Ann,
Yes, probably if you are persistent in consulting oncs you can find one who will prescribe it, and I don't know if you would have to pay for it. (This is probably the one instance where the worse your cancer characteristics are the more helpful they might be.) It probably would be best to get a prescription as soon as you can and then deal with the issue of paying for it, since the farther out we get the harder it may be to actually get it. Keep in mind, though, that it only seems to work for less than half of those who are HER2 positive.
At this time I am told the chat is scheduled for April. I think there are a fair number of us who are concerned with this issue and are determined to deal with it.
