slow pace of advances vs cancer frustrate researchers (how about patients???)

Let's hope the patient oriented her2 project gets off the ground!

The truth and frustration is Scary for all!

"I have never been as worried about our nation's commitment to the war on cancer as I am today," said Nancy Brinker, a breast cancer survivor and founder of an advocacy group called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, in a speech to thousands of cancer specialists in Chicago in June. She called on researchers to come up with better medicines: "There is a Great Divide between discovery and delivery," she said, "when we celebrate as 'breakthroughs' treatments that cost $50,000 and that extend life, at most, a few months. This is progress?"


Amen, Lani! Let's hold onto our hope!


Thank you all my HER2 sisters and brothers for this site, your hope, support, strength, positive thinking, sharing experiences and education, and tools for coping and healing and somatic experiencing work!
