Re: Colleen's Last Herceptin

Dear Lee

It seems that all this has gone by so quickly - now it is done and a new life will begin again, fresh and renewed in many, many ways.

Hopefully this does not mean that you will disappear completely. You have brought much to this group - games, jokes, laughter and fun. I pray we have all helped you as you have helped us.

Go forth and have fun
