Re: Invited to a talk by Dr Slamon.
Ladies, all so good to see you.
Tricia , thank you for the meeting with dr s.
I was dxed in may 2005 with stage iiic bc, terrible prognosticators, and after my last surgery back then , no clear surgical margins. I remember they had to pry the newsweek magazine out of my hand while being wheeled into surgery. The front page article highlighted herceptin as a breakthrough. I just prayed i would be able to receive it.
I stayed on it for 6 years, while no mets detected, my docs thought i was too high risk to go off. ( was living outside of the u.s)
i am well and thankful every day.
Andy, i have followed you and think you are just fabulous.
