Dear Courtney

Great news!! I wanted to hear good results from you because I did suspect this might work for you because you responded so well to Herceptin in your body. Since this method is the only way to get Herceptin into the brain, I was very hopeful this would work for you.

You are very brave and are also a pioneer - leading the way for others and a true warrior. I admire your tenacity at leaving no stone unturned.
