I JUST bumped up my "Just for fun post" and KNOW there are attorneys listed. Please scan through it and maybe email someone in case their not on the board much? Take care and God bless.

A good place to start may be National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (www.canceradvocacy.org. I belong to the Cancer Advocacy Now that shows you how to write to your senators and house members. They are currently working on lobbying to get the Comprehensive Cancer Care Legislation passed. It's a grassroots organization but could be a good place to start.

Hi Michele,

I'm really glad to hear the good news about Tykerb, but have no desire to go on it myself. I'm just not convinced that it can do anything for me over and above the treatment that I've already had. But I also can use hormonal treatments, so that gives me a sense of 'doing something' to continue to fight the cancer. (Hopefully it is doing something worthwhile!)

Wondering if there were any updates on the big adjuvent Herceptin studies? The data in the NEJM study showed that relapse for Stage 3 patients leveled off after three years-- in other words, the patients looked 'cured' (fingers crossed) once they reached three years past randomization.
