Congratulations Joe
I want to personally congratulate both you and Christine for your tireless efforts to help those plagued by this particular form of breast cancer. Mom's oncologists have learned the hard way that there are those out there that refuse to sit by and wait for the "Promised Land" to come to them, but rather seek to get there under their own steam. They get the funniest looks on their faces when I tell them in advance of some new drug or treatment plan that will be unveiled at ASCO. I know they don't have time to follow all of the last minute breakthroughs, but damnit, they should hire people to stay on top of these things.
I think that all of us here might have pushed the finish line a few yards back this year, and given many a little breathing room as well as hope. We all know that as long as there is hope, there is life. The painful loss of several of our close members recently hit me like a smack across the face, and reminded me that we aren't fooling around with some allergy, or indigestion problem here, but a real live disease of cells run amok, that can and will kill us or our loved ones if we don't do something about it. Again Joe and Christine, thank you for all that you do, and thanks to those who sit tirelessly searching the web and reading materials for answers. You all deserve a big "well done".
Sincerely,
Tom
