Re: The View Show Today
I noticed that EE was on an IV med she received at the hosp. even after she was NED for almost a year. When it went to her bones she said she went back on that same iv med again and wondered if she shouldn't have ever stopped it. Her2+ would certainly explain the short remission as well as the aggressiveness when it returned.
I wonder about G Rancic as well but think the lack of details is to protect her career propects--they certainly don't care about keeping anything private.
