Greetings from Tricia

[TriciaK]

Hi, Just wanted to tell you all that tomorrow(December 9) is my 76th birthday! My husband and daughters are having a celebration party for me. It's been 18 months since my last mets showed up in my lungs, her2 of course. I was told I would only have had 3 months to live if the mets hadn't been found (because of a heart attack!) and if herceptin hadn't been available to me along with navelbine and femara. And as you all know, it's been over 20 years since I was first diagnosed with BC. As you also know my PET scan a month or so ago showed NED, the third time in over 20 years! I feel so very blessed to still be alive. I am grateful for each new day of life, for the wonderful husband and family I have, and for each of you on this website, who have given me so much encouragement and hope, not to mention knowledge! I am off herceptin now because of low MUGA and Echo scores, but I was able to have it for 18 months. I don't know what lies ahead, but I feel only hope and faith and an abundance of love. Thank you, all of you, for being there for me and for each other. Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season, and may 2006 be an even greater year for you and for the conquest of the BC beast! Love and Hugs, Tricia

Dear Tricia- Have a Happy Birthday and a Blessed and wonderful Christmas. You are so inspiring to me and to all of us! I think you are truly a shining light that magnifies the love of the Lord and helps to guide us all to what's important and true. You taught us to banish any hint of negative thinking from our lives. Keep spreading around the countless gifts God gave you- ie.-your beautiful Smile, Joy,Kindness,Courage,Peace and Love to all who are fortunate to know you- God Bless You- Cathy

Tricia, many blessings of love and birthday wishes to you and yours! Given the good news posted about short courses of Herceptin showing such wonderful results, I think you have every reason to expect a good lasting response from your Herceptin treatment. Have a blessed Christmas!
