Well, 7 days of radiation, and two chemo infusions. The oncologist (Dr. Tucker) let me look at the lab reports on the blood draws, and every thing looks good, except for the things that look great. What a great feeling that gives. I asked about HER2/neu testing, and he said, "Oh yeah. We did that. You are negative. We normally don't do that unless someone is Stage IV, but we understand your concern, and are here to answer your questions, and give you the best care we can."

Works for me. But I wouldn't have known if I hadn't asked. So... The thing to always do is ask questions!

PS... Note the italics and bolding... Standard HTML tags work. That would be an i inside the "greater than" "less than" symbols to start italics, and a /i inside the symbols to stop italics. Use a "b" and /b inside the symbols to create bolding.

Cool...
