Re: Update

Hi Dawn, I know how over whelmed you must still be feeling. I was told I recurred this last Sept. and it still isn't easy for me. But I am trying to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. Thanks to this wonderful group of Her2 sisters...we can and will do it. We are here for you...don't ever forget that. Plus it sounds like you have a fantastic onc..that's half the battle too. So you hang in there and keep us all updated. I'm glad your feeling better.

Hugs!

Chelee
