Congratulations! We are all so happy for you. Only those of us who have walked in our HER@Neu Shoes knows how far we have travelled in our journeys. I too will celebrate my one-year anniversary on the 6th of September. Although my Onc kept telling me he was going for "the cure," and I want to believe in him, this website has taught me that we have to use all of our resources to become our own advocates for the best medical treatment available to us and to remain cautiously optimistic. We have come a long way...and I thank you all for your knowledge and continued support as we journey together.
Louise
