Shes doing very well, shes on FB. A testimony to the power of pert w/ herc for some her2 pts . Stopped progression in liver, she went to her sons 5th grade graduation , and is living life ! She looks great. She said she has some other areas w/ cancer still in her body , but is holding her own. maybe she could get some t dm-1 later this year .
This all points out what a TRAVESTY This FDA is perpetrating on Stage IV BC pts ! Conditional approval for pert. NO approval for t dm-1. And they get away w/ it . Darlene SPOKE UP , got comp use , before FDA approval. Then they ( Moffit IRB )tried to take it away from her ! Saying it was only a " mixed response ". Better than No response ! And now. Thanks to this Big Brother, " Know - It - All " FDA ; Hospital IRB's , and Ins Co's around the country are denying pert to Stage IV folks !
There will be a reckoning some day soon. I hope it becomes a campaign issue this FAll. Big Govt at its Worst ! I'm an independent, but this is why you need an opposition, checks and balances on any power. FDA, Big Business, IRB's , etc.
