Dear Susan

Congratulations from me too. What an accomplishment. Seeing the women who responded to you - I remember most of us going through treatment, Herceptin or late Herceptin together. There are many in the 4-5 yr club and that is a testament to the right treatment and support (with self/patient advocacy thrown in). It all works.

I am thrilled you continue to thrive.

Love from me
