new onc. herceptin w/o chemo possible
First of all, thank you to everyone who offered support after my last terrible appt with the first onc. It has been so difficult to wait, but it was so worth it. Things were much more positive. The doctor said my treatment is not cut and dry, falls in a gray area. But, he wants to do the oncotype test to see if chemo is a good idea. But, in the meantime, he wants me to start radiation so that we are making some progress. It has been a bit over two months since my first surgery. Then, he said because of my her2neu status, he would give me herceptin even if chemo is not to be used. He also said he wants to do a bit more research on my exact situation before we make the final treatment plan. This was so much better than my first experience! I told him about the first comment that my children would remember me and he said there was no reason for that to be said... that he knows with treatment I can look forward to a long life. First radiation will be thursday. Thank you so much for all your kind words. Susan
