        Hi Deb,  thank you for replying, and especially for the link is really useful.  We are in the U.K., so on the plus side she's receiving all her treatment "free"' but on the down side, it's a real fight to get new treatments through our national health service.  Very few people here have health insurance, I guess assuming our NHS will take care of us… hmm!   I think in the first instance I need to try and phone her consultant and find out exactly what his area of expertise is…. at the moment I believe he's a breast surgeon which is clearly not the best care.

        Many thanks again for your help, Bella.
