Joe, wondering how christine is doing?
 

i've been off line for awhile. Very busy at work. I'm wondering how Christine is doin? I hope i didn't miss any important posts. I'm doing well, going to Vegas in 3 weeks to celebrate my 5 year cancerversary! I told that to my onc. and he asked if I made that up!! He must not read alot of survivor stories!

Heard my name and here Iam...
 

Hi Michell, I've been busy celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in NJ, then going to baby showers for relatives in the CA area. , Oh! and celebrating my 60 th B-Day on Aug 4th. Joe bought tickets for us to see one of my favorite Broadway musical 'THE PHANTOM OFTHEOPERA". It was really an evening to remember. I would venture to say it was better than the NYC performance. The music and sound effects made it a real treat for me.treat for me.
My health is going well. I have off Herceptin for 5 months and have not progressed . Iam using the Her2serum test ELISA to follow my progress every 2-3 months. I also have good liver, kidney function and all my organs are fine . My radiation Onc has me on a 6 month MRI survielance of my brain and feel very secure about my health status.

With all the advocasy we have been doing for the past 8 yrs, I finally achieved public recognition. Recently a PR firm contacted me to do some Photoshoots with me, Joe and my 2 girls. It was a very great event , and treated me like a celebrity. They piced us up in a trailer with my name printed on the door. Inside there was a lounge, a makeup seating area and a makeup artist to follow me around . They wanted the photos in 3 different locations, the onc & me, The home shots, and pics of me with Joe and my 2 daughters. It was an all day affair. They also videotaped an interview of me.
The grand finale of it all was.... all will be shown on Times Square in NYC in Sept/ OCT this year.
So here I am busy doing well for me, you and all on our world wide web.
Hugs,
Christine

Hi Michele and Christine
 

Hello Christine,
Glad to hear your health is going well.
Congrats on the well deserved recognition - we'd all be lost without this site and our HER2 "family."
Happy anniversary and Happy Birthday!
Hope we'll get a chance to see the video
Stay well, stay happy
