great news for KK1
Today I had my usually 3 week herceptin and saw my onc. to get the results of last week's tests. Brain MRI -all clear, chest and abdomin CT all clear, Her2 serum 8, Circulating Tumor Cell 0, echo 62%. YAHOO!!!
My kids got out of school today for the summer and we will head to Maine in a week for most of the summer with a side trip to Alaska with my husbands family. Last year we went to San Diego and I got to meet Joe and Christine, this year I hope to meet Sandy in Maine and Steph in Seattle. I am always greatful for everyday, but with the recent news of Linda, Lyn and Maryanne more so than ever. You are all in my prayer always! Thanks for being here.
