Hey Everyone: I was doing some research and came across this "good news":

"These data suggest that trastuzumab radically changes the natural history of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. While women with HER2-positive tumors have historically been thought to have a worse prognosis, the advent of trastuzumab means that they appear to do far better in response to chemotherapy than do patients with HER2-negative tumors, exhibiting higher rates of response, longer durations of treatment, and improved overall survival."

How about that!!!!

Thanks!
I especially like that "improved overall survival" part. We herceptin patients are pushing those numbers out with each passing month! I think we can now be classified as a "legion" of survivors
