just returned from Ann Arbor today, very encouraging visit. Dr. Mark Lippman
comes with very impressive cridentials. Said that there are several chemos that we can go with and that different docs would have their own choices to go with but he felt that at this time we stay on the herceptin and do this along with taxotere with x-rays to monitor the progess and if it is thought that taxotere isn't doing the job we go to another. We felt very confident in the doctor and I am going to start treatment here at my oncologist hopefully on Thursday. To my sis, I love you too!!!!!

went to Ann Arbor today for a 2nd opinion with Dr. Mark Lippman who has great credentials in the field of breast cancer. He feels that I should remain on Herceptin and start Taxotere treatments. With regular x-rays to see what kind of progress is being made he said that if this treatment doesn't work we can try others. He said that I am amoung a large group that he has treated with Her2/estrogen- and that he doesn't feel that it is hopeless. I am taking this recommendation back to my oncologist so that I can be treated close to home. Very confident with my desision.
