Re: 6 year Cancerversary!!

You give me SO much hope since I had 21/21 positive nodes and I am 1 year from my diagnosis. Thank you for the inspiration!

Re: 6 year Cancerversary!!

Congratulations, Michele! I'm so happy for your continued good health--you've been such a blessing to this site and to me personally by sharing your struggles and informed support. Can't believe we've come this far--I remember the early days on the Herceptin clinical trial, filled with tears, gloom and doom and wondering how our little girls would manage without us... Hope you celebrate this anniversary by breaking out some champagne and doing something special for yourself-you deserve it!!!!!
