Herceptin Risks and Herceptin Benefits

Herceptin Treatment

Finding Light Amongst the Shadows

Sometimes I browse other blogs relating to breast cancer treatment. Occasionally I post a comment about my own experiences or with information that I think might be useful to others.
Only once in a while do the comments develop into online "conversations" about the subject at hand - but when they do the outcome and the discussion can open up issues in a way that simple articles or news stories never do.

One such conversation happened recently on the Cancer Blog between myself and Gregory Pawelski.

We explored the issues around herceptin treatment for women with breast cancer and touched on some pretty important and deep issues about making breast cancer treatment choices.

I have posted a copy of the transcript on a page about herceptin treatment risks on this site or you can view the original here.

If you or a family member has breast cancer then do read and think about what we discussed. It may make for uncomfortable - perhaps even painful - reading but the issues raised are crucially important.

Being informed and being involved are the most important things in the world when you are facing a battle with cancer.
