When I finished chemo in 06, my oncologist said I might
get Herceptin if approved for Stage one, it was, I took
it and thank God every day and all the Drs., sisters before me, and the drug companies and supporters that
pushed this through. To have to fight for a drug that is
not available is a scary prospect and I wonder now what
the news is on compasssinate care drugs?
