A different kind of survivor's poll..

[TheresaM]

After reading all the wonderful stories in the survivor poll, a couple of things really stood out for me - all or just about all people who reached NED either responded to Herceptin and/or were er/pr+ and could take hormonals. This is consistent with everything I've seen on us HER2+ folks over the last 3 or 4 years.

Here's a new question for y'all: How many out there did NOT respond to Herceptin at all, at any point, AND could not take hormonals, and are still doing well? Love to hear from you!

Thanks,
