Hi everyone,
CourtneyL is fighting for her life at UCSF with what her doctors believe is an infection in her spinal fluid (good news is that the latest MRI revealed no cancer in her brain).
Here's a link where you may leave her a message:
"A few of our friends are working on some projects to support Courtney. We could use some help getting the word out." Here's a site you can visit to see what they recommend: http://sites.google.com/site/4cl2012/
Let's all pull our strength together for our beloved HER-2 member!
Marcia
