I just watched the movie last night as I had taped it from last week. It was so surreal watching it and hearing how Herceptin came to be. I was so touched by Dr. Slamon's dedication and how he persevered to get Herceptin approved. Now because of him and all those trials, I have Herceptin and hopefully can kick this cancer. It's as many of you have said, it was very emotional movie and truly hits home for all of us.
