I thought you might be interested in Lifetime's movie "Living Proof" based on Robert Bazell’s book “Her-2."
Nobody should miss out on Lifetime’s red carpet movie premiere of “Living Proof!” Watch the inspiring true story of the sacrifices and obstacles Dr. Slamon faced while devoting his life's work to help find a cure for cancer with the life-saving breast cancer drug, Herceptin.
