Re: Just a little brain surgery...

To Ms. Tremenda Brenda!!

Your spunk and attitude are amazing and inspiring. Not only did you have to spend 12 days in the hospital, you had to spend 12 days in the hospital over the holidays. YIKES!!

I was wondering about your Denver adventures, was worried that your hospital stay would knock you out of the TDM-1 trial. Glad to hear that didn't happen. Hope you get those platelets back to where they should be!

p.s. Finally went to my first Pink Ribbon Cowgirls luncheon. Sorry you weren't there!
