Hi Christine and Joe!
Thank you for letting us know that Christine is once more doing battle. I'm glad that the cataract surgery was successful. It must be frustrating for someone like Christine to not drive. As I read it, I thought that must be one more thing for my grateful list that I can do.
Please keep us up on what is happening with the brain mets. It can't be anything but worrisome to you both to have to deal with this now.
You have so many of your own battles to fight, but you keep working so hard for all of the rest of us. Thank you and I'll be praying for you both.
8 years on herceptin is so encouraging to me today!
I just want Christine to be free of those mets.
May life chase you down with blessings today!
ma
