  • Viewer's Guide
    VIEWER’S GUIDE ©2008 LIFETIME ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES Dr. Slamon (right, Harry Connick, Jr.) explains his work to his new student assistant, Jamie (left, Amanda Bynes) in “Living Proof,” premiering Saturday, October 18 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television. Photo credit: Skip Bolen, Lifetime Networks, 2008 The Lifetime Original Movie “Living Proof” is based on the book Her-2, by NBC News’ Chief Health and Science Correspondent Robert Bazell, about UCLA on- cologist and researcher Dr. Dennis Slamon, and how the promising breast cancer drug Herceptin was born. Beginning in 1988, Dr. Slamon’s inspiring story shows the sacrifices he makes in his personal life and the obstacles that he faces to get the drug approved. Dr. Slamon was convinced he had developed a potentially revolutionary drug, Herceptin, that could turn off cancer cells for women who have tumors that are Her-2+ (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2–positive), without debilitat- ing side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiation. With the help of Ronald Perelman, Lilly Tartikoff and the extended Revlon family, funds were raised to further his research. While encountering red tape, Dr. Slamon loses some of the heroic women with advanced breast cancer who volunteered for the clinical trials. Relentless, he remains committed to the testing of Herceptin to help change the course of breast cancer treatment. In 1998 the FDA finally approves the treatment for the general population, which changes the lives of countless women and their families. “Living Proof” premieres Saturday, October 18 at 9 pm/8c on Lifetime as part of the Network’s Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign.
