Question + fundraising

Christine, Thank you so much for doing all this, and for reporting to us. What a wonderful thing you have accomplished.

Do you know if Tykerb might be an option for people who got heart failure from Herceptin?

Last year I did a fund-raising campaign to all my friends and relatives, asking them to contribute to the U of W Tumor Vaccine Group (after hearing a presentation by Dr. Devon Webster). I was able to give them over $2000. If 100 of us did that for Her2support, that would be $200,000. Would that help? I asked people to send me their checks so I could send them all in together, but gave them the address so they could send it separately if they preferred. A few did. I also asked them to send the request on, and my sister's friends really came through.

I love hearing the latest from you guys. Thank you, thank you! - Carol
