Geez, how many times did I cry. This mans determination was amazing and I really feel like I would love to meet him and shake his hand. How awful it had to be turning down these women who were begging for their life due to rules and regulations. I can't imagine. I am so grateful that if I had to get HER2 it was at this point in time. It does make me wonder though how many other possible cures are being held up by red tape, it seems like it takes forever to get things approved that could save someones life...sherryg683
