One year today.
Hey family! I get to announce today that it has been exactly one year since my diagnosis...AND I just had my last dose of Herceptin yesterday........YaaaaHoooo!
Things are still going great and much of the credit goes to you all. THANK YOU! I love you so much and plan to continue to share the ups and downs with you all for a long, long time to come.
Thank you Joe and Christine for all you've done to help me and all of us sisters and brothers, and for the wonderful opportunities you've provided me with, and for your caring, patient, determined hearts. You're wonderful friends.
What an amazing year it's been.
Love, Celeste
