Re: Making Good on a Promise
Big congrats to you Kris. I met Dr. Slamon at a Breast Cancer Seminar at Princess Margaret Hospital here in Toronto where I had my mastectomy in Dec. 2006(# 1 cancer hospital in Canada, in the top 5 in the world) - he is on the board here, and he did a whole presentation about Herceptin and how it has changed the course of treatment and prognosis of Her2+ BC. I met him afterwards, he is a gracious and humble man.
Many Her2 survivors were there, he talked to us after the presentation - we are all so lucky that he perservered with Herceptin.
all the best
caya
