Travelling with breast cancer
My friend and I are looking to travel to the UK next year. She has breast cancer and requires herceptin infusions every 3 weeks. Does anyone know how we can access an infustion in England?? We know ...

Many thanks for your response Kathy. Progress has been that my friends new oncologist in Queensland - who she has seen this week for the first time, has suggested she could take her own liquid herceptin at her own cost, and have it infused at a private hospital in the UK, if she can find one willing to do it. Again at her own cost. He also pointed out it would probably be cheaper to fly home, have an infustion then fly back again!! Either way she will be out of pocket thousands. Missing a treatment seems to be the go, but she does get terribly tired if she misses one.
will keep you up to date with any other suggestions.
cheers, Annie
