Well, the world just might catch up with how much a celebrity you truly are! Christine, that is so wonderful. A beautiful family, good health, the opportunity to impact even more people and get credit for all the people you continue to bless. I'm so happy for you and wish you the very best for lots and lots more years to come. How did you decide to stop the herceptin? ma
