I think we all have been blessed in one way or another by the scientists and medicines that are available out there in one system or another. I think Canadians and French are blessed with their systems (I lived in Canada for some years and I know Caya, how your wonderful medical system works. In fact some of the current surgery methods for Breast Cancer were developed in the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto). Even when I can not say the same for my country Mexico, I was very lucky to have the support of great doctors, hospitals and an insurace company. The private medical system in Mexico is pretty good, unfortunately just a very small sector has access to it. The government system is terrible not because of the quality of doctors or equipment, but because it is unsufficient for 100 million people in this country, due to our little resources. I do not want to get you tired with how our system works but I would like to say that we all here are blessed with the informations and treatments that we have received, many women out there do not even know what Her2neu is. I hope than in the short term, governments and politicians put more emphasis in people“s health needs around the world. After all Health is our biggest treasure.

Love you all,

Paty
