Re: Intrathecal Herceptin Update
I agree with the other ladies that believe the spots are "old timers" and should be shooed away!
Please know how much stength and courage you pass along to those of us who are fighting this damned disease.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Wow. You are really blazing a trail for the rest of us survivors. What you are doing is amazing and fascinating. Mop the floor with those Her2 cells. Soon there will be none left.
