I am in disbelief that Chrisy is gone. I have been off the board for several days and I am heartbroken. She and Sheila are looking down over us now while having some chocolate martinis. What a blast I had with those two buzzing around with our Her2Support group booth and our brain shaped stress "squeeze" balls. Good times but I am still so sad that there will not be new memories with them. We have to also remember that Chrisy was a real pioneer. She tried so many trial drugs and was in so many studies. She did these not only for herself but for all Her2+ women. Trials, IMHO, are heroic work. I am very sad tonight and I am thinking about Chrisy and all of you.
