Hi, Lillian;
Sorry to take so long to write back..I've been trying to spend less time on
the computer and more time with my family.
As far as how long I waited, well, I knew what this (inflammatory b.c.) for
about 2 months. It progressed VERY quickly and sort of got ahead of me while
I was trying to decide what to do.
I haven't gotten a second opinion because I figure that the diagnosis is
right. Should I get another opinion about what to do about it? The only
problem would be that my doctor is so "full of himself" that I'm sort of
afraid to ask for my records. He keeps reminding me that he's the "expert"
and is rather intimidating.
Right now, he's got me on Tamoxifen, but I've read a little about
hyperthermia and it sounds promising for my type of b. cancer. Have you
heard of that?
Thanks, Lillian, and how are you doing with your diabetes?
Your friend, Roberta
