Lung Mets growing / May start Herceptin soon
Hi, I'm just going to talk with my oncolocist about Herceptin today. Where I live, it's only available for stage IV patients with ongoing cancer growth, which a recent CT scan confirm me to be. My onco called yesterday afternoon and told me to stop taking tamoxifen to get ready for whatever regime we discuss today and that I should go see him sooner, rather than waiting for next week's appointment. I'm glad he's with the program and that he didn't let it slide until next week, but I know I'll have all sorts of questions for the women here later this weekend.
