Researchers are now taking small samples of the woman's cancer and placing it in accordingly in petri dishes. After they are placed in the dishes, they sample each drug to see which one works best. If this procedure is successful and works the way that scientists and doctors plan, it may be available clinically within the next five to ten years.
This treatment may be the answer to breast cancer. My godmother was diagnosed with breast cancer years ago. She beat it after a grueling fight. I was only 7 or 8 when she had it so everyone spared me the details. She is a strong woman and is very involved with breast cancer awareness and many other things such as Susan G. Komen runs and fundraisers. I couldn't imagine if her doctors were unable to treat her. I know many families go through this. I hope that this is the experiment that works to help kill cancer and isn't toxic to people!

Wow! This is really cool. Maybe the other medications are just not as efective as the ones they are using now, or they might be harmful. I'm sure many women that had or have breast cancer wish that this treatment would have been available to them, because, like to you said, this could be that answer to breast cancer. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, weeks before my mom's wedding. Thankfully, she is still here, alive and well.
