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
