Re: Happy Birthay TriciaK :)
Happy Birthday Tricia K!
You are a fellow old-timer on this site and if I am remembering correctly; is it possible that you are close to 80 now? Good grief - it is hard to believe (and if I am wrong, give me a nudge!)
Now that you are on Herceptin every 3 weeks, it sounds like you are feeling and doing well. You are such a good role model for the rest of us.
Kick up your heels and have a wonderful day!
Love Kim from CT
