Dr. Dennis Slamon, JCCC Director of Clinical/Translational Research, identifies different genes and pathways to design therapies specifically to what drives cancer. The result is more effective and less toxic therapies such as Herceptin.
thank you dr. slamon. herceptin saved my life before it was fda approved. i had a huge tumor 4"x3" + it shrunk until it was undetectable at mastectomy biopsy. (1st year i was very ill from congestive heart failure side effect + didn't know if i'd recover), but i'm at 5 year anniversary of terminal diagnosis + my heart is fantastic + i am so grateful to everyone responsible for herceptin, the drug that saves people like me + gives me hope for my young daughter. (i also had A,C,T chemos)
My heart. My mind. My spirit. Deep within me. Theres thanksgiving. So grateful. Im alive. HER2 positive. And Im alive. Surviving breast cancer. Beating the odds. Alive! Full of promise. Full of life. Because of one man. His determination. His discovery. His generosity. His gift to me.
I was NOT happy when DX with Her2/neu breast cancer. But thank God literally for Dr. Slamon and all his hard work to get Herceptin out there for us woman. Herceptin is a life saver to so many of us. God bless you Dr. Slamon! Keep up the continued good work. Without you, so many of us woman with Her2 breast cancer would not be here. Your the "Man"!!!
