Thanks Kitty, I sent a fax over the Easter Break to my Onc, I didn't want to wait the 3 weeks for my first dose of Carboplatin, so instead I am having first treatment this Thursday which will make the Herceptin 1 week late which doesn't bother me because it is supposed to stay in our system for 5 for 6 weeks anyway. What throws me is why didn't they come up with that idea. Also been doing research on Iressa which is being trialed for head and neck cancer, un be known to me my onc trialed Iressa last year for BC that had spread to the lungs, I had to read about that on the net so when I put Herceptin and Iressa in the searach engine I got the info on the head and neck, apparently it is in the same family as the Herceptin. I asked him if he had any lying around, I would trial it for him, but I did send him 2 faxes so may be that one hasn't caught up with him yet, I believe it is an oral medication. I shall keep you informed.
Love & Hugs Lyn
