Re: perjeta with gemzar?

Ann just FYI there are quite a few scholarships for children of breast cancer parents.
I am so grateful that you can try the 2 new drug combo.

When I was diagnosed we had all 6 kids at home, oldest 2 graduated 04,05 I was dx 1/06 stage 4 I did not know if I would see my daughter Graduate in May 2006. I know the feeling. God also gave me an incredible oncologist and Insurance. I got to see the other 2 graduate in 09, and my now 12 year old starting his second semester of 7th grade, and to spend time with my 6 yr old grandson. My goal is to see the youngest graduate college and be a good christian man, and see the others have families and get closer to God and have families. they are 26,25,24,21,21,and 12.
Take care you are an incredible inspiration to others to have hope. More Prayers
