HAPPY HOLIDAY to all my HER+ sisters and brothers!
My dear friends,
Happy holidays!!!
I wish I could reach out and hug each of you individually instead of sending this electronically. Thank you all for the love and support you have given me this year. I pray 2011 is a great year for every one of you!
Love,
Maureen

Coughing up blood Feb. 2009. Thoractomy July 2009 to cut out fungal ball of common soil fungus (aspergillus) that grew in the RFA cavity (most likely inhaled while gardening). No cancer, only fungus. Removal of tiny melanoma from upper left arm, plus sentinel lymph node biopsy in Feb. 2016. Guardant Health liquid biopsy in Feb. 2016 showed mutations in 4 subtypes of TP53. Repeat of Guardant Health biopsy in Jana. 2021 showed 3 TP53 mutations, BRCA1 mutation and CHEK2 mutation. Invitae genetic testing showed negative for all of these. Living with MBC since 2007.
