WOOOHOOOO!!! What grand news!! And crab legs sounds like the perfect way to celebrate! Having gone through dense dose AC and then over a year of Herceptin before stopping in May, I've watched my own ejection fraction drop from 65% to 53%.... and I have another MUGA on Tuesday. Haven't had the complications you have, but your resolve and good news make me feel much more optimistic about my own test. THANKS! Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend - you deserve it for all the stuff you've labored through against this stuff.
Warmly, Rentrac

loved your good newS
Tricia,

Thanks for your sharing your good news. Some people may not like sharing their age, but it puts things in perspective for me. You were 55 at your DX and 22years later you are still here. You described a roller coaster, which was probably not always fun. But your warm spirit shines thru and I think you enjoy life even when you are in the middle of a fight!!!!!

I am 59 and 22 years from now I will be 81 and I hope that I am still here. In fact I think I will take a nice cruise for my 80th birthday. I love to travel.

Keep up the good fight. I can see you at dinner enjoying the steak and crab legs.

All the best, Catherine
