I'm now a year older!

Wow Loretta - you are there at that mountain top - I'll bo so grateful to see you at the top.  I can't see it yet as I have no end date for my chemo.  It is going to be weekly, ongoing...  I will only come off it if the disease progresses (and then onto another cocktail) or if I take myself off the trial.  My oncologist says that there are a couple of women on the trial who are showing no signs of disease who are discussing coming off the trial - then most continue with herceptin forever too.  I have been doing lots of research into treatments and trials in the US and am glad to see so much happening in research for women with Stage 4 disease.  There are many of these trials happening here but the treatments available off trial are relatively minimal - meaning the ones the government covers on the PBS - if you are willing and able to pay you can increase your treatment options.  Anyway - I'll pop off my soapbox for now and dream of meeting you at the top of the mountain - enjoy the view - when I get there we are going to have a lot of catching up to do - thank you for you belief in me.  

Have you celebrated your reaching the peak in any way?

Hope you are enjoying the view.
