Must add this
Often times when I have posted on cutting edge information that has been used by top doctors (often times by Dr. Slamon himself)I have been challenged to PROVE it even though I stated my own honest opinion or own experience. hmmmm

Nancy please advise us of what the good Dr. Slamon says about this article and the dr. who wrote it - maybe he knows of her and updated inforamiton on the vaccine?

We all bring value to the table. I do have to agree that this dr. statement about the use of herceptin which is extremely more expensive than Tamoxifen is strange.
One would think she would understand the difference of the two treatments.

We do know that viruses can help to cause some cancers. What is happening is that the virus causes genetic changes in the cells that make them more likely to become cancerious, such as cervical cancer and T cell leukaemia in adults.

I wish a vaccine would be the answer for breast cancer.
