Hello @ara - I was first diagnosed in June 2011, masectomy and lymph nodes, diagnosed metastatic. I have herceptin every three weeks and this week its no. 123. Throughout this time there have been heart scans, CT scans, MRI's, a couple of minor surgeries, x15 radiation 'zaps', physiotherapy for cording and appts with oncologist every few months. In discussion with my GP I decided to go public and to date I have only paid for parking. You will appreciate I have never regretted my decision - I cannot fault the care.
