Its been one year ago I was diagnose stage 4 - in the liver from
being DCIS.
I never thought a year later, I would be standing at Mnt. St. Helen in Washington - all the way from Tampa Florida.

I go to Seattle for a vaccine.
Iam receiving my last one in November.

The doctors say I am doing great and fabulous!

I will be taking a computer vacation for a while, my family wants to see me exercising, eating right and just counting God's blessings that he gave me.

I enjoyed the chats/post. I wanted all to know my story.
If you know anyone who gets diagnose at early stage and has
pain in other parts of body , tell them to get to the hospital - this
is what saved my life, I almost died of liver failure, that's how much,
I am greatful for my chemo, my response, my vaccination, my life
and I know there was a divine intervention from above.

My oncologist that found me in the hospital, told me that he will treat me, and when I became NED in less that 8 weeks, he was in shock, he never expected the outcome that I have.
Actually, tumors shrunk on third chemo cycle.

I am truly Living Proof - a miracle, this is what Herceptin has done for me - if Dr. Slamon is ever reading this - thankyou, I am so greatful. God bless and take care, Margie in Florida
