Re: 15 years later
Dear "Kitty9,"
I am sorry I do not know or recall your actual name, but I do want to thank you for posting. Your story is an inspiration to those who are entering their own cancer journey. I remember the fear and uncertainty. Here you are 15 years after a Stage 3, 19 positive nodes diagnosis! Wow! In this season of Thanksgiving (November is Thanksgiving in the US) I am thankful for your survival and to all the many health professionals who fought to make a Her2 diagnosis no longer a death sentence. Thanks be to God for Dr. Slamon and Herceptin! May you enjoy many, many more cancerversaries! All the very best!
Laurel
