WOW! What a strange trip we are all on. Christine is so lucky to have such a great husband/partner. Congrats to both of you for such a long stretch with Herceptin. I only made it 7 mos and you made it 8 yrs. Sure glad Christine's heart has been strong enought to take this treatment for so long. God Bless you both. Karen

Thinking positive thoughts for you both
Joe,
Thanks for the update on Christine. I am praying for those mets to dissipate very quickly, and soon, so Christine can return to NED.
Have a great time in San Francisco.
All the best
caya

Still Here, when you say your cardiomyopathy is reversed,, does that mean your heart is now normal, and you don't have to take medication any more... are they going to give you herceptin again, now , I had Herceptin for 18 weeks, and was taken off because of HF... so many things to learn
