Re: early Christmas present--10 yr overall & bc specific survival results just publis

Just to clear up any misunderstanding:
I also would have enjoyed having everyone have a positive results with herceptin. The flavor of the thread was reading as if the research community had abandoned those cancer patients who did not have positive response. Which is certainly not the case.

Or the research is not doing their job since some failed on Herpcetin and they should know why and why now.

I am looking forward to the documentary which will hopefully offer some clarity to the debate over the issue. Hopeing it will deliver information on the research and how hard the medical industry is working to find a cure.

For those of you who were able to see Vice and the approach of the current treatment shown, new doors are opening, as soon as next year. Will that work for all of the cancer population?

This thread began with positive news and moved to another level.
So be it, but let's not forget the good progress. We have a long way to go indeed and we all want everyone to be treated with drugs that offer a positive results to all.
