Book about the making of Herceptin
 

Hi all
I know this is a nine year old book and many of you have read it and
talked about it on this site. I read several posts in 2005 and 2006.
I am now reading it and find it very interesting as we are now almost
to 2008. It is just amazing all they had to do to get Herceptin to us.
I thought maybe others might not know about this book and would like
to read it. The Making of Herceptin by Robert Bazell. As I was looking at
past posts, Joe mentioned a lady from the book that had been on
Herceptin nine years. I was wondering how she is, if anyone knew about
Ginger or Barbara? This book made me mad, glad, sad, etc. I wonder if
there are other books you have read that we all might find interesting about Her2. Thanks and have a good night and stay cool.

Since you are reading it right now, what cosmetics company contributed a lot to the funding for herceptin? I cannot remember and I am a firm believer for rewarding companies that make a difference. Plus I love makeup.

Ginger holds the record for being on Herceptin the longest...she was in San Antonio with us last year at the BC Symposium...she is a lovely lady! It was an honor to meet her.

This is a good book, I read it last year.

As for the cosmetic company it was Revlon.

Copies of the book: HER2; The Making of Herceptin are available from Amazon.com for less than $10.00.

Barbara Bradfield is still doing great and now lives in Oregon. Ginger has completed 12 years of Herceptin and is still on the go. You can read their updated stories and others by going to the "Community" Section of this website:
