Hi--I am new to the board. My mother was orginally diagnosed as ER+/PR+ Her2+++ Stage 3b in 2002. She had chemo and rads that finished up about a year ago, and now the cancer is back in the form of a malignant pleural effusion. There are suspicious spots on her lungs and spine that may or may not be mets, and she's going in for a brain MRI tomorrow. She just started Herceptin/Taxotare/Carboplatin in weekly doses last week.
The reason I am posting is because I have finally convinced her to move from out-of-state to the San Diego area to be near me and the grandkids. She is anxious about getting new docs out here, and I wanted to know if anyone has an oncology group in the San Diego area that they are happy with.
I am tempted to send my mom to UCSD since they are a teaching hospital, but it's quite a commute from where we are, especially for weekly treatments. There are oncology groups in North County San Diego where we live, but I don't know if they'll be as cutting edge as UCSD.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any input on San Diego doctors, especially North County ones. I think the lady who founded this web site lives in Carlsbad--I saw an article in our paper about her--and if someone could tell me how to e-mail her directly, I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks so much in advance, and please know my prayers are with each and every one of you.
