I truly hope my comments weren't interpreted as challenging or divisive - that wasn't my intent.

I didn't explain myself properly I'm afraid. What I meant to say was - in Canada - we have no choice when it comes to chemo and Herceptin. If you want to take Herceptin which is provided free through our government health care system, you have to go through chemo. Can't have one without the other. That lack of choice was something that upset me a great deal at the time.

Controversy

Not at all, Louise! The topic just can get very sensitive and I too don't mean to offend anyone, and especially not those whose diagnosis is much more complicated than that of a stage I node negative HR+ like me. Again, since the vast majority of those diagnosed in the US at this time are diagnosed with early stage bc, I try a little harder than I would otherwise to discuss the options from that point of view.

Thanks, neighbor, for such courtesy,

AlaskaAngel
