Re: update I hate to give (with a little more positive spin)
Oh Chris, this is not the news I wanted to hear.
Like Mary Jo, I joined the board many years ago and always looked forward to reading your posts. Throughout the years, you have graced us with your wit, wisdom and warmth. You are one of the HER2 elite who will leave your imprint forever in the hearts of all who were so fortunate to have you touch our lives. I remember back to the silly fun we had with PinkGirl, Shelia, Brenda, Bill, Lee, and many others. I found an old thread last night (the one with "spray cheese") and read through it - it had me laughing all over again.
I am sending you much love and my most fervent prayers that this new treatment will keep you on the right side of the grass where you belong.
Thank you Chris. I am filled with love and graditude for all you have given us.
