An update: two of eight done, hair's gone, chemo definitely sucks. Puts her out of commission mostly from the treatment on Wednesday to the following Tuesday. No nausea, lots of drugs to counteract that, but headaches come from that stuff. The time in the curve now (a week past the treatment through...

Re: Send Some Positive Thoughts (or prayers).

Her oncologist has more testing but we're stuck for eight weeks with the original/"basic" plan. By that point, further tests will either show up positive (and she'll get the her2 chemo) or ambivalent (and she'll be denied outright or granted on appeal--former seems much more likely).

Wife's insurance denied what her oncologist wanted because of the lack of a purely positive test. Back to the original chemo treatment plan, which is more often, harsher, and less effective short and long term.
