John, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about Irene. She's been such a long time Her2 sister we have all loved and cared about. She had PM'd me quite a while back and was thinking of going out to see Dr. Slamon. I knew she had alot going on but she has always been such a true inspriation and warrior here. I was hoping as always she would find that magic combo and whatever it took to beat back her mets. She was always a fighter and always came up swinging. She is such an amazing lady and I feel so blessed to know her. However I am truly saddened by this news. It just breaks my heart.

I just went to her carepage and when I read her words that she wasn't giving up...that sounds like our Irene.) It brought tears to my eyes, & coming from her does not surprise me. I pray her trt brings her the miracles she SO deserves. We will all be pulling for her to get well.

Please let Irene know how much she is missed & loved by all here. She has been so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and daughers by her side through all this. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you both.
