Dear Gift,

Glad you found us and that being with us helps. I hope you realize that now that you are getting Herceptin, your chances of survival are probably better than if you didn't have Her2 positive disease. The fact that chemo and herceptin shrunk your tumor from 7 to 4 cm is good news too.

I hope you never have to deal with cancer again after your treatment is over. Are you getting hormonal therapy as well?

Jacqueline
