Re: For Those Who Participated in the Adjuvant Herceptin Trials
Thank you Joe for posting this article as many will be happy to read as it confirms what we all hoped for.
I again have to thank you and Christine for this site.
In 2005 when I was Dx. and found the site (at that time) I was told by dr. as an early stage patient I did not need chemo/herceptin/nor would I be able to have it.
From your site I leaned that early stage women were having herceptin and the answer was not a flat no.
You helped me get information and spurred my research. While others thought I was WRONG for my
constant checking....you and Christine encouraged me along with many sisters on the site. Through this support I made my way out to Dr. Salmon......
Ahhh the rest is history.
God Bless you and Christine for you have made a difference in many lives. God put both of you into our lives.....Love you both!
Jean
