Happy Birthday to our Irish Tricia. And a thank you to you for recommending this site to me. You found me posting a little on the Komen site and saw my questions about Her2 and you emailed me with the info about this site. I feel so much better informed and supported now.

Thank you ALL:)
...For all your good wishes and support!
I spent part of my birthday having a bone scan for back pain which hopefully is just from the Arimidex so keep your fingers crossed for me please.
Results should be in next Friday.
I also went to collect the cutest little MaineCoon kitten as my cat was killed by a car a couple of weeks ago around the same time as Kimber posted about losing her cat fritz.
This little guy won't replace our Leo but we're hoping he'll help take our minds off the whole thing and be company for Leo's brother who misses him too.
We only have him half a day and so far it's working!
Catherine I do remember e mailing you and am very pleased you found your way here.
I told you they were all wonderful
Thank you again everyone for helping to make my day special and to Joe!
Hugs
Tricia
