Just an update again. My doctor called me and said he couldn't recall why he would write that on my report. He said the only thing he could think of was at the original diagnosis, had I chosen to opt out of chemo and herceptin, my prognosis was poor. I questioned him as to why that would come up now, all these monthes later. He said that in the report he should have used the words "original diagnosis prior to agreeing to treatment". So, he apologized, I made sure that I told him what I went through having to think on his words all week end. He assured me that the herceptin is doing it's job and my prognosis is not poor. So, that's what I come away with today, apparently it was a mistake on his part. Holy cow, I hope he doesn't make any more like that one.
Once again, thanks to everyone, you sure helped me when I needed it.
Love
