Hi to my Her2 family,
I haven't done much updating lately... So much happening, and the demands of treatment have been arduous. Unfortunately recent MRIs have shown tumour growth and there aren't many options available.
Meanwhile, no further trips possible, but I am able to do most of the things I enjoy, albeit at a slower pace. There is some satisfaction in that it won't be the breast cancer that kills me!
I have enjoyed the support and connection with this group and send best wishes to all..... Pam
