We are pioneers.
We are not just guinea pigging how herceptin works. We will also be pioneering the side effects for years to come. We are the first mass consumers of this drug.
I think that people are thrilled that we are living. Before many more of us would have died without herceptin. Now that the drug has proved it's primary purpose, the scientists can move on and document (and perhaps deal with) all the numerous side effects that are not fully catalogued.
