Laurel and I were walking through the lobby when we arrived Tuesday and this strangely familiar "blonde" lady approached us. Somewhat apprehensively we spoke to her-----------IT WAS JOAN!

She really looks great as a blonde.

Laurel and I attended several presentations comparing different aspects of AI's vs. tamoxifen in her2+ and her2-, and also weight significance for ER+'s relative to recurrance. More info to come.
