Kim,
While the reason for your recent post isn't the best of situations, I was glad to hear from you and of course view that beautiful picture of you and your horse. When I joined the board 5 years ago, your picture was an inspiration that someone with cancer COULD remain active and lead life filled with the things they love to do.

You were SO right to be the squeaky wheel. As you know, being passive with this disease is not a winning strategy. The herceptin has been so effective in the past, I am sure it will get back to the business of killing those cancer cells.

Here's to a speedy herceptin infusion....please keep us posted.
