Meet Margaret - 50 year breast cancer Survivor


We met her today at the San Diego Cancer Survivorship Celebration - I couldn't resist taking her picture.

Thumbs up How WONDERFUL!!!!
THESE are the stories I love to hear and feel that it is important to at some point "get passed cancer", BUT check in once a year and update our stories as when I was dx, I SEARCHED for long time stories, but could find none and lets face it, WE are the HER2 history makers being that HER2 hasn't been consistently tested for long AND Herceptin hasn't been around that long. The other stories I love are Ginger and Christines. These stories are the hope for the newly diagnosed. Take care and God bless.
