Maria, Great post...we are all on the same page when it comes to how much we appreciate what Christine has done for us. (Obviously Joe too.  ) At times through this entire journey of mine I often have wondered what I would of done without this board? Its a scary thought.
Saying thank you to Christine just never seems like enough for what she has given us. Talk about a true warrior that is such an inspiration to us all. We have all been so blessed in so many ways because of her hard work & dedication as Maria said.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart...to Christine & Joe. It's awesome that you took something so life changing as a dx of Her2 bc & turned it into a gift to all of us. You both have put so much into this site one could never thank you enough. Not only did you give us a place to gather all the her2 info we need...but you've made us all one big her2 family. Your one very special lady Christine. God bless you.
Chelee
