Re: Missing Sheila.
Sheila, Brenda, Kris Vell, Courtney.....gosh, who else am I missing, folks? We lost several brave warriors this year, but I know they lived as large as possible during their fights. Strides are being made and those who courageously toe up to the line to participate in clinical trials blaze new trails for those who follow. One day, soon I hope, prevention of breast cancer will be the focus and the treatments developed to combat it will be a secondary line of defense for the few who slip through the prevention cracks.
