Just for cheers - when I went in the florist near San Antonio to get a plant in which to put some gift certificates for the radiation nurses, I met the owner of the shop who is in her 2nd battle with breast cancer and starts the vacine trial at BAMC soon. I'm so excited for her. BAMC wasn't her first choice for treatment and yet it has turned out just great for her to be in the vacine trail! I love how things work out! Can't wait to see it work for her! ma
