early Christmas present--10 yr overall & bc specific survival results just published!

I am so happy that Genentech and others continued the research beyond Herceptin.

These numbers are a bit shocking. I suppose because everyone is lumped in together.
I am truly looking forward to seeing long range data for the Herceptin/Perjeta combination.

The Disease Free Survival and Overall Survival numbers for the current generation of Her2 breast cancer patients will be even better. What a difference a decade makes!

my oncologist didn't say "nasty" he said "really ugly." In 2005 I knew nothing about Dr. Slamon and Herceptin . My oncologist explained it to me - he ended by saying "you are very lucky."
