Hi again, I found this information on the company's web site: "To learn more about how we can help, contact us. Call (888) 249-4918 or visit Genentech-Access.com/Herceptin/Patients." This is for financial assistance. They may refer you to another source if this is USA only.

I too have been diagnosed with stage IIB Invasive Ductal Carcinoma the end of last September. You have recently been diagnosed. I can honestly say that I know all the emotion roller coaster you are on. So many women came out of no where to show me their support. And so many of them are Breast Cancer Survivors. Just knowing their support gave me the strength for this long journey. I also wrote blogs on good old Facebook. It helped me to cope, but it was mainly to make awareness of this evil thing. It never ran in my family. It was one of the fastest growing tumor that the doctors had seen. From the time of discovery to mastectomy, it had doubled in size. That time frame was 3 weeks! And to put the cherry on top of all this, I am Triple Negative. Again, I do not fit that category. So this has been my hand that has been dealt to me. And I am doing the best I can with it.
Please feel free to write. All of us have to stick together. It will give you extra boast in strength!
Stay strong Lady, stay strong!
Looking forward to hear from you.
