Re: Cancer is back...I just knew it.
Sweet Chelee,
I have no words to say about your dr. I am not going there with her. First of all and most important you allow yourself to feel what you feel. Of course it is over the top - and I doubt it gets easier anytime.
I think it is very wise to start the herceptin. Next before you jump into any further treatment I would get a 2nd opinion....while Dr. Slamon may not be taking new patients he certainly would consult. Give his office a call up at UCLA...That alone will give you a strong footing once again as you gear up to fight back.
It goes without saying how sorry I am that this has happened to you...and I am angry!
Love you,
Jean
