open access article on the latest and greatest in treatment for her2+ breast cancer
highly recommended--use the chocolate, whipped cream and cherries technique I have previously recommended to read it or ask me specific questions about phrases you do not understand...

Wow!
That has to be the most comprehensive article about treating Trastuzumab resistent disease I've seen.
I just hope some of these newer methods become available to the general public soon... because some of us really need them!
Thanks, Lani!
