I agree Lizbeth - one of the things I really like about this board is that there is an intelligent approach to understanding cancer, and becoming informed, proactive advocates for ones own health and that of others.
I don't want to sound critical, but I do sometimes wince when I see the attitude on some other boards of "don't look on the internet, you'll just scare yourself, don't worry about stats, just be positive, don't second guess your medical team, just have faith'. Sometimes comfort and support and trust are really important, but I think the massive advances in the her2 area are partly due to a lot of intelligent women making informed choices and pushing for the best treatments. (and the dedicated scientists and drs of course).

GDPawel - thanks for sharing these interesting points.
