Re: 15 Years out!
Hi Tricia, so happy to hear that you celebrated with a glass of wine and toasted all of us. This is truly a remarkable group. I’ll reach 15 next spring. So fun to see so many long time members checking in.

Hugs, Catherine
Ps I just read a July 2020 post by Lani. Trials are under way that might eliminate chemo for Her2 patients. Instead treatment would be Herceptin and one other drug. I am not good at the science, but highly recommend everyone reads this post by Lani.
