Re: Happy new year - 2010
Dear HER2 sisters and brothers -
Yes, I like Dawn's idea of "shooting for the moon." All the best that life can offer to you all, and let's pray real hard for the researchers to find even better ways to combat this disease.

All clear until treated cerebellum spot showing activity on Jan 2006 brain MRI & brain PET
Brain surgery on Feb 9, 2006 - no cancer, 100% radiation necrosis - tumor was still dying
Continue as NED while on Herceptin & quarterly Zometa
Fall-2006 - off Zometa - watching one small brain spot (scar?)
