Am I stupid?
Please do me a favor and read my comments under the post about the letter on Breast Cancer Awarness sent to the LA Times. I am bothered by the comment...."without more HER2 research, I am going to die." Am I stupid thinking that the treatment I had and the year long Herceptin is going to protect me? I guess I just do not think that I am going to die. (of course, some day)
Thanks, Catherine
