Jackie,

Amelia--If you don't already have the Power Point program on your computer, you may find as I did that downloading a free program called Microsoft Office Power Point Viewer 2007 may let you view these slides. The link for the the download is http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6 This link works for PCs--I don't know if there is a reader for Macs if you have an Apple machine. Hope this helps because anything Dr. Slamon has to say about treating Her2 positive BC is worth the effort to get. ---bird

There might be some newer development in the Her2 field since Dr. Slamon's presentation several months ago. You might need to join the CCO (free) in order to view the slides via the link in the beginning of the thread.
