About Living Proof

“Living Proof” is the true story of oncologist and researcher Dr. Dennis Slamon, the UCLA doctor who helped develop the breast cancer drug Herceptin, and his effort to keep the drug trials afloat. His inspiring journey shows the sacrifices he makes in his personal life and the obstacles that he faces to get the drug approved. Thousands of lives have been saved because of his dedication.

Hi all,
I have seen tons of requests for this movie to be aired again. My mother didn't see it and she is not able to either.
HOWEVER - my cable is comcast and in the on demand section under free movies the movie is there. So if you have cable and free on demand service check there.
I am not sure if dish or directv have the on demand free movie service.

Hope this is helpful to some of you!!!

It was a very good movie!

Shame on you Lifetime......I have sent emails along with all these other women requesting that you re-air this movie, with no response. October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and you could only air this movie one time, even with all these requests to see it again????
Maybe we should all boycot this channel until they air it again....something has to get their attention.

Please air the show again. I missed it. I take my final chemo on 11/21. Then, I'll be on Herception every 3 weeks for a year. I'm a 37 year old woman in NYC with a 3 year old son. I worked for ROP's holding company MacAndrews and Forbes years ago. I did the first Revlon Run. Thanks to ROP for all the support.

Wow! What a phenomenal movie,my name is Vanessa I am 39 was diagnosed with Her 2 in September. I am 25 weeks pregnant with our 4th ,I had a double mastectomy last week and through the Grace of God and all of the support from our family and friends we will beat this. Dr. Slamon and Revelon thank you for having the determination and will to continue this fight for every daughter, wife, sister, mother and friend. I will buy Revelon products from this day forward. I feel every oncologist should give a copy of this movie to every woman diagnosed with Her 2 to give them Hope. I can start Herceptin after the arrival of our little Charlie. I begin chemo November 10 and know we will beat this. Harry thank you, you have always been one of my faves. My husband and I have been to numerous concerts. I feel as though I know you and consider you a friend. Ladies we are Living Proof fight hard and fight strong and God bless every family that is affected by this disease. Be strong! Never give up!

Vanessa, I just heard about the movie. I'm 41 years old and 33 wks pregnant and her-2 positive, I'm actually getting my last cycle of chemo right now before our baby girl arrives, which will be mid Dec! Can't wait to see the movie, and I hope you are doing well with your journey, you must be strong, in fact I know you are strong! This is our first child and we are so excited! I can hardly believe its been seven months since I was diagnosed. I wish you well and if you have any questions about chemo, etc please let me know! Take care! Mary Reed

i was diagnosed with breast cancer in July of this year, borderline stage 1-2, its so overwhelming and some think devastating news. However thanks to doctors like Dr. Slamon and companies like revlon it is very reassuring to know that the research does continue. I want to personally thank them and any others that are helping with the battle. I will be a survivor but it was will be done with help of family, friends and strangers. Thank you so much. The show was wonderful and helped my 17 year old daughter learn so much more than I could have ever explained to her.
god bless you...

This was a beautiful and intense movie. I loved HArry and his cast of actresses. It was a movie where I needed a box of tissue by my side. I will tell others about it.

Saw "Living Proof" and thought it was the best I've seen on this topic.
I am a survivor of 13 years, did not have Herceptin, but I was in the last of the first stage beginning of the second stage. Also have a wonderful support system made up of family and friends.
I want to thank Dr. slamon and Revlon for their contribution to ending breast cancer. Please keep up the good work.
