... I was about to ask that VERY question!

How could he come to such conclusions after supposedly attending the SAME conference as I in San Antonio and hearing and seeing the same studies and research!!

As one who OWES MY LIFE to Herceptin, I cannot recommend that anyone who is HER-2 positive NOT try the drug to see if it will do for them what it has done for me and so many others that I know. I am NOT cured, but have had no evidence of systemic disease (after raging mets 4 years ago) in almost 3.5 years.

If you value your life and your family and friends, at least give this drug a chance. If you can get your mets under complete control there is a good chance that you can have a good quality of life for many years. We don't know everything - but are helping to write the book, for goodness sake!
