I have thanked God many times for this wonderful board. I have been on it for 4 years now and thanks go to my sister in law for sending me the Family Circle 4 years ago. She saw the Her2 article in there and thought it would be something that might help me going through such a tough time-meaning no support. I was too discouraged to reach out for help. She knew nothing about the Her2 and that I even had it. I had mentioned Herceptin to her and that's all she knew. This board and so many wonderful people, I consider family, has changed my life, inspired me to reach out, take control of my life, be proactive with this disease, and love people for who they are. Thanks Joe and Christine for being there for us through good times and bad times. Thanks to the rest for listening to us even when we have rambled on. We are all fighting the same battle here and yet each one is different. I am just so happy to be here and enjoying a great quality of life. Wishing you all a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving wherever you. Sending everyone a big hug from my heart. Sandy
