Hi Brenda, I took a look at the website & I clicked on Herceptin & went as far as to add it to my "cart" to see if this is a "secured" website for starters. Much to my surprise it is? Hummm?
It also told me in order to buy herceptin a prescription is required. Here is what it said:
>>>A prescription drug is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. You must submit the prescription you obtained from your physician to order this medication.<<<
>>>They even note that they cannot legally ship any narcotic or controlled substances. We also will not sell any habit forming medications.<<<
Also if you click on "FAQ" it covers why you need a prescription, the amount you can order at one time and all kinds of things. Actually it sounds pretty legit when you read all the details but what a way to make money if someone handed out their credit card info to them and then the website up and disappeared. 
I've seen many sites that sell other medications but not cancer drugs...this is a new one to me.
