Sad news to report about Donna ~UPDATE 8-1-10~
Brooks
UPDATE>>> I talked to Donna on the phone today and she says thank you for all the support you guys have given her and for all of us to stay strong. She would love to post something but right now it’s very hard for her to get her thoughts together because of the cancer. I told her that we all love her very much and that she has touched the lives of many of us, including me. Hospice will be out sometime this week and I told her that she’s welcome to call me 24/7 for any reason. If anyone wants to send her a card please send to my address (PM me for address) and I’ll forward it to her or if you already have her address just sent it to her directly. I don’t feel comfortable giving anyone's address out. I hope you all understand. This so very hard for me to deal with too but we need to stay strong for Donna and that includes me (
I’m a better person because I have known Donna!!

Just when I think
Just when I think I'm strong and not much can make me cry, I read this. There is no way not to cry when hearing bad news for Donna.
Donna has always been out there LIVING and keeping such a positive strong attitude, and taking care of her family, all while dealing with the effects of treatments. She has always been full of support for all of us. It is so hard to hear this news. I want to stomp my feet and jump up and down and throw a temper tantrum! It just isn't fair!
I HATE CANCER! I hate what it does to people like Donna, and families - families that have to face losing an important member WAY too soon.
Donna and her whole family are in my prayers. They have been all along, but I will ask for strength for all of them to get through whatever the future brings together.0 -
I spoke to Donna once on the
I spoke to Donna once on the phone when she was researching Thera Spheres. She was as loveley "in person" as she is on this board. Damn it, I f##*&n HATE this cancer.
what a horrible run on this board.
Donna, my heart and prayers are with you and your family.
Brooks, hugs to you too
My hart is just aching tonight.

I hate this disease so much.
I hate this disease so much. I'm absolutely sick about this. Donna gave me such a warm and sweet welcome when I joined this board last fall - her love of life and enthusiasm (especially for her theater and performing!) are so apparent. She was the first person who demonstrated to me that life doesn't end at a cancer diagnosis.
My prayers and thoughts are going out to Donna and her family tonight. Please keep us posted as you find out more, Brooks.0 -

oh Donna.
I along with everyone am just crushed. Love you- if there is anything I or any one of us can do, please let us know. Your kids, your husband, your family, friends- they are all in my prayers. Of course you are too- I pray for peaceful times ahead for all of you.0 -
Donna, strong prayers arePamPam2 said:So Sorry
I am so sad to hear this news. I am hoping the doctors might find some treatment to deal with it and am holding my breath for this. I am only about an hour away from OU hospital if that is where you are Donna.
Pam
Donna, strong prayers are being said for you over and over. We love you. We want you to remember that you are very special to us. We are thinking of you and please think of us too.

Oh God! Donna came on this board right after I did....she was so scared and reaching out for us, and I was new too and she spoke of her fears fears that I had inside also, mainly of th unknown. Buzz jumped in to toss her the rope and she caught it and climbed to the top with the other survivors on this board. I pray for a miracle, show her a sign lord that you are there for her! Please!0 -
Tears Just Flowing
Just can't express how much this has hit me. This month has been so hard and now another one that is affected so much. My heart is just aching and my tears are just coming from all that we have lost this month. Just don't have the words to say for how I'm feeling as there really isn't any. No one that has had this disease can ever be feeling the same feelings we do. May God Bless Donna and her family as she battles with this. My heart is so heavy on this news and I'm just devastated by all this recent news and with Donna. My prayers always go out to this board every day. May the Lord be with her and family.
Love you Donna, Kim0 -
Thanks for the update
Oh no, this is beyond bad. My heart goes out to her friends and family. When is this going to stop?
I don't know what to even think anymore0 -
Donna
I too do not understand why there is nothing that can be done. It is rare, from what I have been told, for colon cancer to spread to the brain.
Donna, you have always been nothing but kind and supportive to me during my journey with my sister. I pray that you find some peace and comfort.
Blessings to you and your family.
