I am hoping this cut and paste works. We attended the Genentech Advocacy Luncheon and they gave us a presentation (which included info on the Herceptin + Avastin trial). They sent me this whole presentation today (and I am sure Sheila and Sandy H as well) so I pasted it here. I haven't even opened it. There wasn't much said about the Herceptin + Avastin trial in general and unfortunately, I did not attend that presentation.
