Sandy,
What great news!
I am guessing your diet and strict principals have something to with this....or maybe it was the new puppy?
Fondly,
Maryanne

Good News!
Sandy,
Your news was good to read.
Congratulations on your Muga test results going up to 64.
Are you taking Co Q10? Or are the good Muga results brought about by running around and taking care of your puppy? I have heard that puppy-love can do wonders.
Best wishes,
Joan

One hardy woman ...
Yes, you are. Your body just works to keep those mets out at the skin level and is really working for you.
So, congrats on the good clean scans and keeping the beast in its hole.
It was great to see you in San Antonio even though you were a little tired still from the last chemo.
I really do think the Herceptin is working for you. How many inflammatory BC survivors do you know who are HER2 positive as well?? I think it gives you an edge for survival over the other who are not.
I saw the puppy pics, and they are so adorable. Will give others a smile to see them - put them up!

This is great news Sandy,
I'm also a proponent of CO-Q10.
Congrats and take care of that puppy.
