Hi there,

I am sorry you had this awful experience. Some of the drs. need to be trained in human relations/compassion.

I don't know if anyone else on the board was told what I was told, but the first onc. (Thank God I didn't use him, had no bedside manner) and the second onc. (Who is a God send) both told me that the cut off for not getting chemo was 1 cm. I was given chemo as mine was 1.5 cm. I don't know if this is something they agree on in Brooklyn or what. I was dx in April '05 as stage 1, ER,PR and HER2 positive. I had a mastectomy, 6 rounds of CAF and am now getting Herceptin every 3 weeks.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Get another onc. and hang in there.

Hugs,

Liz J.
