I was wondering what everyone thought of the movie last night? We don't have cable but are on the road in the RV and were able to see it. Talking to Christine, I knew there was a surprise in store for us. How wonderful to see her and then both our fearless leaders on the commercial. I can not put into words the gratitude I have for Christine and Joe. I look back over the last 2 years of my life and can't believe the knowledge I have gained from this site. I am so grateful for the friendships I have found here. I now have a true sense of sisterhood!

Now onto the movie. I was really amazed at all that went into getting Herceptin available to us. I am indebted to Dr. Salmon and all our sisters that went through the early trails for us. I see Herceptin as our miracle treatment.

I was unable to record the movie last night but ask a friend at home to record it for me. If available I would love to share it with my sisters outside the states that were unable to see it. I went to sleep last night with tears in my eyes and a smile on face. We all should be grateful and feel blessed to have Herceptin available to us. Miracles do happen!
