Re: Invited to a talk by Dr Slamon.
Yes, we are all here thanks to him. If you haven't seen the tv movie "proof of life" (I think that's the title), do so because it shows how his perseverance helped when gentech and ucla stopped helping his work, he kept on with the help of the Tartikovs (spelling?). now of course, Genetech loves herceptin! but he really had to fight for it. thank you Dr. Slamon. and the FDA wanted him to prove it helped all breast cancers!
Thank goodness for a dedicated and stubborn scientist with a brilliant vision. We are here, enjoying life thanks to him. I hope now he will always find funding easily for anything he wants to do. He deserves that. and to be rich!
