Re: Parenthood

I "found" Parenthood later than some so went on a Parenthood binge sometime back and got caught up. I just watched (a few minutes ago) the show that was aired earlier this week. I was surprised that Kristina has HER2 but I think it will bring much needed attention ("out there") to this type of cancer. We already knew that Kristina had a 1.6 cm tumor and this week we found out that she has one positive node and is HER2 positive. My first thought was that one or more of the writers knows someone (or is someone). Next week Kristina starts chemo so we shall see how this goes. The words targeted therapy or Herceptin have not yet come up (although the breast surgeon mentioned that there was an effective therapy for the disease). I, too, hope for an accurate and detailed portrayal of HER2.
