The longest known survivor who still takes Herceptin is Ginger Empey, who is a member of our group (Check Members). She will celebrate 10 years of survival in August 2005.
Ginger was the first person admitted to the Phase III clinical trials for Herceptin in 1995, under the supervision of Dr. Dennis Slamon.
You can read her story by going to the "Community" section of the website and then to the stories page.
Although Ginger is still NED, she continues to be an activist. She speaks frequently on behalf of the Jonnson Breast Cancer Clinic addressing the need to participate in clinical trials. She will also answer your emails.
