A Holiday Greeting from the HER2 Support Group

[Joe]

Tomorrow, December 24th is the 4th Anniversary of the HER2 Support Group. This website was the vision of my wife Christine, who wanted to help other breast cancer patients after she was told that she was in complete remission.
This site was first published on Christmas Eve 2001, my Christmas gift to her and in turn her gift to all of the women who were suffering from this insideous disease.

All I can say is "What A Ride !!!" 500,000 hits from over 80 countries and almost 2 million pageviews. It certainly wasn't the small group that Christine first thought it would be.

I would like to thank all of you as without your support and cooperation we would be just another of the estimated 17,000 breast cancer support sites on the internet.

To all of our Christian members, we wish you a Very Merry Christmas, to our Jewish members, a Joyous Hanukkah. To members of other religions. feel free to post greetings to others on your special religious holidays as we feel we all benefit through God's help and intervention.

2005 was a great year highlighted with the clinical trial results of adjuvant Herceptin. From talking to researchers and oncologists, 2006 should even be a better year. Our most sincerest wish is that modern medical research will put this website out of business as there will be no longer a need for us.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our Board of Advisors we wish you all a "Merry Christmas"

Warmest Regards
Christine and Joe
