Mary,

I'm sorry to hear that a friend of yours passed away. You said in you post that you were trying to get into the vaccine trial and that you were not just doing it for yourself but for Katie too. Please don't lose your motivation because Katie is gone. Remember, don't just do it for yourself but also for all the women on this board who could benefit as well. Cancer is an ugly and mean beast but you have to fight!!!
