Thanks for taking the time and making the effort for all of us Maryanne!

Thanks Christine for the date, I only knew it was approved here three weeks before my diagnosis in '05 and in fact was the first thing my surgeon told me when reading the path report. I do intend learning more of the back ground of how herceptin came about and appreciate every day how fortunate I was to receive this wonderful drug at early dx.
