HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Denise, how is recovery progressing?

Denise, you always crack me up! You're a delight and inspiration. I have a gut feeling (like you say to me) that the work thing will work out fine for you in the future. So glad you're not letting it get the best of you--- We get the best of you! Hoping and praying for your continued improvement. Hugs, Joanne
