Living Proof ~ Movie about Dr. who helped develop Herceptin!

On October 18, 2008 Lifetime will air docudrama Living Proof. Script is based on the nonfiction best seller Her-2, which chronicles Dr. Dennis Slamon's fight for new breast cancer drug Hercepitn. Also, Her-2 and Herceptin was mentioned in an article in TIME mag. Sept.15. 2008. When I mention Her-2 or Herceptin most people look at me and say you have what, or what is herceptin? This even happens when you go to the doc. with something unrelated to cancer. Maybe word will get out and we won't have to explain ourselves as much!
