Hey there, Kiddo, so glad you touched base with us. I was really wondering how things were going for you since the end of your Haleven run. Sounds like that Gemzar #%$& is wicked! Of course I'd best not speak too terribly about it since it is kicking those nodes back down to size! Really hope this gives you a long run and some time on the NED sideline. Wishing the same for our gal, Pam, too.

Your sister made the wise decision in light of what the path report showed. I am guessing since she is triple neg she will have to face chemo?

Keeping you in my prayers! You know I love ya.
