Re: HER2 positive and 10 years out?

Dianne,

We all have those moments when fear overwhelms us, as time goes on it gets easier. Hang in there, you will be breathing easier as each year ticks by.

To jml: Amazing video Jessica! Your tenacity and drive are awe inspiring....and without a doubt you are beautiful!

Thanks for putting this crazy world of cancer into perspective. Like so many other courageous warriors on this board you are living life to the fullest. You rock!
