hmmmm maybe you might need to change dr's?
Dear Susan,
Just read your prior post...and now read this current post.
I have been away from the site for the last few days.
I felt so upset when I read you post. It is a shame that your
dr. does not have confidence in himself. It is his business to keep
his paitents thriving and never give up. We have heard of many
who have been in advanced stages of cancer and have had NED
dx. Shame on him on many levels. I think it is wise that you meet
with him/or/her in person to discuss this in detail. Hopefully he maybe able to explain why or what his comments truly mean. In any event,
do not allow anyone to take away your energy - that should be used
to getting well and fighting back. Herceptin has been our wonder
drug and when or if - you require additional meds., so be it. Thank
God - there are many different drugs now available to treat Her2.
Maybe you may have to consider another dr., one who is a fighter!
and not a chicken little with the sky is falling.
Good Luck with your meeting....and please know all good wishes
and big prayers are with you!
Kind Regards,
Jean
