Hey Joe & Chris - that a coup!
Dr. Winer sure seemed interested in meeting all of us at that Genentech reception and was very approachable to talk with. That gave me a good feeling about him - that he cares for the patient and not just gathering glory for himself with his work.
He told me that there is a ways to go with the Lapatinib (Tykerb) trial, but seemed to zero in on me when I said I had brain mets. Made me feel that if I should need to consult with him he would be there.

As an Alaskan living in a somewhat rural area I appreciate having had the opportunity to participate as a member of the audience on a recent worldwide telephone conference offered by Cancercare where Dr. Winer spoke. The information from that was encouraging to me, but equally so was the human voice and the words spontaneously spoken. Thank you for continuing to build bridges across the miles, Christine and Joe. And thank you Dr. Winer.

Thank you Dr. Winer for joining our remarkable group!!! And, thank you Christine and Joe for creating a place for all of us that fosters a level of interaction that is attracting "the best of the best"!! One question I do have for Joe and Chris....what are the chances of getting Dr. Winer in a 1 hour moderated chat on targetted therapies. I would suggest changing the format so we have an audio link to a call-in webcast, and as well offer my teckie contacts to (technologically) make this so.
Congrats,
Al

We are currently in negotiations with a large telecommunications provider to provide teleconferencing services to our group.

When this service is available, we will be inviting selected guests to participate in these conferences, perhaps on a monthly basis.

Warmest Regards

Wow, Joe I am impressed and I think this is a positive move for the progress and sucess of Her2support. It certainly seems that your presence at the SABC really paid off this year as I know you and others at Her2support, including Steph, had the opportunity to impress upon Dr. Winer the importance of Her2support.

Warmest regards,
