I just returned from Dana Farber where I attended the symposium on Metastatic Breast Cancer. The discussions and talks were taped and I will post the link when it becomes available.

I found it interesting that the prognoses for HER2+ breast cancer has changed positively in comparison to other types of breast cancer. I also found it noteworthy that Dr. Winer feels HER2+ cancers have a good chance of being cured in the next 5 to 10 years. Let's hope that it will be closer to 5.

Happy Halloween!
