New HER-2 Movie from Genentech
A friend of mine that works at Genentech told me that they just had a private screening of their new movie on HER-2 for the employees. This new movie is supposedly Genentech's side of the story on the development of Herceptin. Apparently, they were not that excited on the heavy emphasis on Dr. Slamon on the Living Proof movie.
I asked her about release dates for the general public, but she didn't know.
Joe/Christine, would there be a way to somehow get this movie out to us first? I'll ask my friend if she can point out someone at Genentech that I can talk to arrange a screening for HER-2+ patients on this site. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Marcia (bejuce)
