HER2+ metastatic breast cancer, a particularly aggressive form of the disease, currently accounts for about one in every five breast cancer diagnoses. In this moving profile, HER2+ metastatic breast cancer survivor Dr. Kathy Bennett, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2008, and UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher and Herceptin pioneer Dr. Dennis Slamon, discuss how clinical trials turn survivors and scientists into colleagues, uniting them in the search for a cure.

Thanks 'lizbeth. This video is very informative and positive about clinical trials. Without these trials, where would we all be?

Hello SandraGa,

I'm flying out for my last blood draw in a few days. I only have follow up after this week. Two 1/2 years went by bloody fast, if you ask me!

You go girl! I am right behind you. I will have my last booster in Sept and then the last blood draw the first of Oct. I just received another clean bill of health from Mayo this past Friday.

I believe in clinical trials!!!
