Chrisy,

Congrats on your graduation. Do they provide you with some kind of a cap or gown so that you can parade around the treatment room?

I know how hard you fought to stay in this trial and it has cleared out those cancer cells. There is no reason to think they they have traveled anywhere else. I give you a high five for getting the testing that is prudent, but all prior tests indicate success.

I too had those cloudy, funky herceptin headaches (still get them on occasion) and had an MRI that was all clear. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you continued success in the post-graduate program.
