Hi, Lee,

First congratulations on getting past the Herceptin. It's a friend that brought us comfort while we were in its company--and, yeah, a little frightening to say good-bye. The period of vigilance is hard to get used to--but as each three month check up finds us still NED we get used to the idea, that we just may beat this thing.
One thing I said when I first got sick was, "Even with bad luck, you need luck"--and I think that the fact that the two of you were able to see the positive side of facing this trial together is that "luck".
I know that my husband and I became even closer than we thought possible. We've been together 42 years--and facing the big C made every day even more precious.
I'm praying we have no more "trials" to bring us close, but I do know that I have who to rely on for whatever comes.
I am sure that Colleen does too.
All the best to the both of you--and may you to continue to enjoy each and every day.
