Looking for a Specialist...Please help provide some names

I am currently NED (hopefully). Nine months ago I finished late herceptin. Since that time, I have been struggling with what I should be doing or not doing in order to help prevent a recurrance.

In my little (rural) corner of the world, we have one onc who alone serves a fairly large area of the state. He has so many patients and treats all types of cancers. There is no way he can keep on top of all the research and information that probably comes in on a daily basis.

I talked to my onc this week and he said he would get me an appointment with anyone in the country that I would like to see. I would come armed with a list of questions...of special interest would be the vaccine trials which have recently been discussed here.

If anyone could give me the names of breast cancer specialists that you have either seen personally or heard about, I would really appreciate it. I suppose they all are familiar with Her2+ breast cancer.

Thanks in advance for your help.
