Consider the source is what I always say.
Your post contains an article headline form Bloomberg; that is a trade paper and service for those in the financial markets.
I can understand the need for articles of this kind. This gives much needed news to shareholders and financial advisors. Bloomberg news is a leader in financial news and usually reports are very accurate. I was excited this morning when my husband called me with the headline news from Bloomberg about Tykerb and Xeloda in brain mets.
While I can certainly understand your position, I personally have a different view. I look at every article on cancer related drugs and every trial as a step forward in this fight against cancer. I have learned it's up to us who live with cancer to educate those that cross our path. I cherish everyday, I am thankful for the drugs I am on. I often think of the ladies that never had the chance to be on Herceptin or Tykerb. I think of all of my stage 4 friends. I miss my friends that has passed; I honor their memory by living to the fullest each day.
This weekend I celebrated Survivors day by painting a tile to be placed on the wall of a new cancer center being built locally.
The words I painted on my tile are the words many live by 'Hope Lives'<O
