Test results are wonderful!
Happy Holidays to all,
I have completed my first round of tests since completing my treatment starting with a mammogram on the remaining breast--looks great. My CA24/27? are all great. My Her2/serum test score was 8!
I got these results on my cell in the bar at the bottom of Breckenridge after a wonderful day of skiing with all of my family present. There has not been such a wonderful day in my life since before Nov. 12, 2006 when I was first diagnosed.
I just want to tell all the newcomers to keep fighting and stay positive.
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy New Year.
Emelie
