Late Herceptin

I do have approval for it from my regular onc, who neither promoted it for me nor discouraged it. The consulting onc even refused to FISH me. I am being stubborn about trying as hard as I can to "see" it from the viewpoint of the oncs who are reluctant or "not enthusiastic". Do they really not comprehend that once somebody has gone through chemo and rads, etc., that getting such flimsy and unclear reasons for being prevented from having Herceptin just does not seem like a rational extension of the clinical trial data or make much sense?
