Re: New Battle
Hi Barb, I happened to be seeing my eye doctor/surgeon today and I mentioned your situation to him. He said what a top hospital Wills is. He also commented about all the advances in recent years to treat this sort of melanoma. It sounded like the sort of message we have had about how Herceptin changed the playing field for us. So I hope for only good news. Keep the faith. And keep the Ativan handy, too!
