"These medicines saved my life and continue to keep me cancer-free for over 3 years. Thank goodness for the scientists for these targeted therapy drugs (Herceptin and Perjeta) that focus on the bad cells with minimal side effects, which allows for a pretty good quality of life in spite of cancer. If only the cost would be more affordable."

"Herceptin is a lifesaver for those of us that are HER2. I took it every 3 weeks for 52 weeks. You will need a TET done on your heart before you start and Benadryl before infusion, but I had no side effects. I did take it with Taxol for 12 weeks. Lifesaver!"
