Oh rats, Charlotte! Third time! That makes me so mad, but also sad too. I just remember that so many times warriors on this board have gone for a 2nd opinion and gotten a good new thing to try and also so much hope from a new view and a new attitude. Can they do anything to protect your heart and give you herceptin at the same time? I'm praying and believing for some peace and answers for your New Year. I'm sending lots of love and caring your way today and into 2008. mary anne
