Thanks sister of another mister,

I'm glad you like my 4th of July picture.

The Herceptin will be a walk in the park.

I am just mearly trying to dispel some misconceptions that more is better when it comes to chemo. It is not one size fits all in cancerland. Many women don't even benefit from chemo but are subjected to toxic treatments because we don't have a better system.

I am truly shocked that I haven't seem more combinations of targeted therapy for early breast cancer. Where is the clinical trial for Herceptin and Perjeta for Stage 0 and Stage I?

Why only women who are 65 and older for a Herceptin clinical trial, why not 55 or 60?

Why not a Herceptin trial for tumor size below .5 if markers show it is an aggressive tumor?

Why am I not in charge at the FDA, lol. Do you think if I applied it would scare the blankity blank out of them?
