Re: Working thread - what do you think the HER2+ standard of care should be really?

In response to the post above by scrunchthecat, I told one of my docs as much - I said we are curing cancer, not all the time but a lot of the time. It doesn't change my lot but let's own that and celebrate that. It is a ground-breaking shift for HER2 disease, as we used to have one of the deadlier forms of the disease. Yes we are only 20% of all breast cancer patients (10% HER2+/HR- and 10% triple positive) but huge strides have been made with targeted therapies, a form of immunotherapy (another thing that deserves recognition).

Own it!
