Re: Faith in Him, any word on biopsy?

Tonya,
I taped "stand up 2 cancer" tonight and just got done watching it. They were talking to Dr. Slamon...and just like I mentioned in my above post...it is Dr. S that is working on two targeted therapies for triple negs. He said he really feels they will hit pay dirt. Trials set to begin before the end of this yr if all goes well. Sounds very encouraging..although I'm sure you would like it now. Any other triple negs out there this is good news.
