HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - 6/4/08...HAPPY 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY JOE AND CHRISTINE!!!!

Rhonda was a bit premature. Our wedding date is actually June 4th and we are planning a large celebration in Wayne, NJ on June 14th.

This anniversary is quite special to us as when Christine was diagnosed as stage IV in 1999, we both thought that we wouldn't be celebrating our next anniversary.

The best present that we received was the announcement yesterday at ASCO by MD Anderson that HER2+ breast cancer patients are surviving longer that others.

In 2001, when this website was launched all we were told was taht "HER2 cancer is very agressive with a poor prognosis".

Dr. Eric Winer of Dana Farber and others have told us that within 5 years HER2 breast cancer will be a treatable disease. Hopefully by our 30th anniversary we will all be able to get on with our lives.

Regards
Joe
