Need your help for getting 2nd year of adjuvant Herceptin
My year of Herceptin is going to end in Feb 06. I asked for a second year of Herceptin and my oncologist refused to give. So I had a second opinion with another onc. today and she is willing to give me 2nd year provided I can give her references about any other doctors who is already giving a 2nd year of Herceptin for early stage. Meanwhile she is also doing some research to find any data related to this.
Could anybody who is getting a second year of Herceptin for early stage provide me your oncologists reference( name and phone#). I really appreciate your help and it means my life. I am really worried to stop Herceptin as I had supraclavicular node involvment at the initial diagnosis. If you would like please email me at julie2amr@yahoo.com or send a private message.
Thanks in advance.
Julie
