Happy Anniversary to the Her2support group! Joe's gift to Christine was such a gift to so many of us as well...I was diagnosed in the summer of 2001 and when I found this website a few months later--(this was in the early days of Herceptin and I was taking it in a clinical trial and didn't really know if it was going to work)--this was about the only place I could go to vent my anxiety and find stories of hope and encouragement. Now I'm celebrating my own 11-year anniversary since my diagnosis and will forever be grateful to Joe & Christine and all of you, my her2 sisters, for helping me through those dark days.
