Confusion over who gets traztuzumab as treatment

It is of course understandable (although a bit painful) to see how many HER2 bc patients who are now automatically being treated with Herceptin are not aware that there are many, many HER2's out here still who are stuck with having been diagnosed as HER2 prior to the clinical trials for Herceptin, or else left in limbo because their tumor did not meet the clinical trial criteria. It is only available to people in these situations off-label.
