Just thinking about Christine today
I've had Christine on my mind all day today. I met Christine at the sabcs several years ago. I was immediately aware of why and how this site came to be.
She had no hesitation as she approached doctors, nurses, or survivors at the conference. She shared everything she had learned through her own experience and others' also. No one left her at the table without encouragement, more information, and an interest in our Her2 site.
I can't imagine where we might all be today had we not been brought together by Christine's determination to make this site work for us all.
Just wanted to say hello and thank you today, Christine. May God bless you beyond measure today.
