My name is Doug Haberstroh, and this is the story of my wife Keri. Keri was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 25. The cancer spread to her sacrum, and now we are dealing with treatment for metastatic breast cancer. This update from Keri explains a new drug, Avastin, being put into the Chemo treatment. Keri also explains her new daily routine during this round.
