Courtney,
It is always so good to hear from you!! The trip to New Zealand sounds wonderful. Of course anything involving beautiful scenery, good food and wine is as good as it gets.

Thank you for charging forward with the Herceptin and sharing the results. So glad to hear the gemzar is doing the trick!!

Although we have to deal with this X*&# cancer, it IS possible to live a full, active life. You certainly are an example of that.

You go girl.....Lori
