Hi Barbara,

I have been following your profile since long time and it gives lot of hope.
I am very inspired the way your mets were controlled with just Herceptin. I always wonder why Herceptin is such a miracle for some and not so for others. Will you be able to share with us your tumor profile? Is it a low grade tumor?

Thanks,
Julie
