An amazing Link for you
Hello to Everyone,
The following is a lecture given by a local (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) professor at Carnegie Mellon University. I found it very inspirational, and thought of all of you my fellow Her2 sisters.
Sending love your way

SusanV, Thank you also, for posting this link. Sometimes when I get on my pitty pot and I see someone like this -- it makes me realize how truely lucky I have been through my treatment and will continue to do so. I don't know how to bump posts up, but I think not very many people saw this, and it so inspirational that may be some new people would like to listen to it. I listened three times. All my love, Nana Karen
