Barb,
Erroneous information should not be tolerated—even when given inadvertently. Unlike yourself, the patient who received this information may not be as fortunate as you in being as well versed in the various chemo regimens and all that they mean to each of us. I would definitely mention it to your oncologist, as I am sure he/she would not want this type of information being given to patients. As we all know, we all have slightly differing types of cancer-even in the HER-2 family; nonetheless, wrong information does not help, and can be a hindrance.
