S&F! I wasn't aware of this one! I am still trying to digest GlaxoSmithKline being fined $3 billion for lieing about their drugs safety and effectiveness!

What really gets me, is that if it was a normal "LITTLE GUY" that did these things, they would be locked up in prison for years!!!!

BIG PHARM...............................They get a fine! No prison for Corporations.........................

I have been on herceptin for some time and am fine. If you have a good doctor, they monitor you very closely and check your blood and ask about any reactions, how you're feeling etc. If anything is wrong they are right on top of things. Medicines are different for everyone, what may affect one, may not affect another.
