Marcia,
Thank you so much for taking an extensive amount of time to document and pass along to us the news/updates from this leading edge forum.

You should be a medical writer for the layperson. Although I need to head out to work, I found myself glued to your write up. It was so informative!!

Very encouraging to hear about all of the possible approaches to managing this disease. Of course, I really focused on the HER2/HER3 paragraph.

Thanks again and seriously...you should consider a profession as a technical writer.

Well...finally must put down the coffee mug and get dressed for work.

Have a great day....Lori
