Rest in Peace-My Her2 Sister

Yesterday my Her2 Sister became an Angel.

We met at the Onc office 3 years ago and then at the Treatment center the next day and became fast friends scheduling our weekly Herceptin treatments on the same day-same time, if the Onc nurses didnt put us next to each other, they soon found out that they needed to, as we talked so much the other patients sometimes complained- she made what could of been intolerable times--FUN!!!

Unfortunately when she was first dx 9-10 yrs ago Herceptin was not within her reach.
So she only received it after the second dx.

She is resting now pain free.

Love to all,
