My heart is broken. Chen is such an amazing spirit. I hate this freakin' disease so much!
Claudia's emails to me when I joined the forum where so helpful and always positive. I am devasted by this news even though I have years of reading forums and discussion boards, knowing the stats so very well. I keep wishing for miracles.
I am hoping that this last part of Claudia's journey will go smoothly.

I am lost for wordssmalldoggroomer said:I also read this on facebook
I also read this on facebook this morning. I just can't believe it. I am heartbroken. Claudia helped me so very much when I was Dx, always the sweetest most helpful lady. I too hate this disease. I love you Claudia and will miss you greatly.
Claudia - has touched so many of our lives, in ways she will never know. My heart is broken. All I can do is think about her beloved Reggie, and Sibohan.
My prayers, and positive thoughts go out to ChenHeart's extended family. What a gignatic loss this will be for all.

Like so many others, I have not been on this site for a while. I saw the new information on Claudia on FB and was devastated as well. Such a strong, valiant warrior who always had a kind word, comforting thought or funny story. I was privledged to meet her here in Phoenix with a group of pink ladies for dinner. What a wonderful woman. Thoughts and prayers with you, Claudia.
Hugs, Renee

My Heart is broken to hear this news. Like so many of you - Claudia was one of the first people to offer comforting words and advice. Her light will continue to shine bright in my heart!!

The scan results, revealed yesterday, were... devastating. Beyond devastating. Treatment has been permanently halted. Hospice care began yesterday, and will continue daily. Claudia has little time left here on earth - several days, maybe weeks.
At this time, she is not using her phone, nor the computer.
Normally, I do not 'speak' for others. In this case, I have permission from a very close family member to communicate Claudia's status. They ask for privacy. And for continued love, support & prayers to be sent Claudia's way. They understand how much we all love her - and how much she loves all of us here. And it means a lot to them.
I know how I feel, many here feeling the same... I cannot possibly even begin to imagine the overwhelming sadness being experienced by her beloved Reggie, Siobhan, all of Chen's family, those closest to her. And Claudia, herself. She's been fighting, so hard, for her life. For so long...
Claudia had been undergoing chemo for two years... I lost track of how many different protocols, there were many. None were competely effective for all her mets. One worked on this; but, not that. Another worked on that; but, not this. It's been a long & difficult road. The chemo took its toll on her 'general health' - now, the cancer overwhelms. Despite her upbeat, as usual, online posts (though increasingly less & less frequent), Claudia has not been doing well for quite a while.
Her 3-year-old granddaughter, Aliyah, has been a bright light for Chen. A loving & snuggly little girl. Just a few weeks ago, Claudia & Reggie welcomed their first grandson.
My heart is not merely broken - it's shattered into a billion tiny pieces.

Sad, Sad News
Claudia,
You have been a ray of sunlight through all of my cancer issues. You welcomed me with open arms and answered any questions I had and were always so upbeat! My heart is heavy with the thought of losing you even though we've never met face to face. I can only be comforted by the fact that you will be out of pain and that there will surely be another angel in heaven to watch over all of us kindred spirits. It's time to spread your wings and fly. Be at peace Chen. You will be sorely missed!!

I am saddened by this news.
Chen was one of those people that if we are very lucky we come to know. She was knowledgable, caring, empathetic, full of humor. When we would have debates that would occasionally get out of hand she was always the voice of reason. She touched every person she met her in a positive way. Everyone here who knew her is better for the experience and even when she stopped posting her advice was often brought up and passed along. Her Hogwarts analogy is a classic and is just one of many. She shared so much of herself and her family. Some of you had the privilege of meeting her in person. I envy you. She was the original organizer of the ornament exchange and when I missed being a part that first year she sent me an ornament. This was our Chenheart, Our dear Claudia, our 50 foot woman. I hope her passing is as gentle as she is and my kindest thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Claudia's time here on earth has a time limit.. Thank you ChristmasGirl for the update regarding Chen's hospice care, and request for privacy.
This is a part of the beast, the battle, or journey .. that stings our cores, hearts and souls.
Any updates, would greatly be appreciated.
Gentle hugs for all .. Vicki

The following was posted by Claudia Cable's beloved niece, Siobhan...
To the kindreds.. Thank you for always being the light in her dark days.. Thank you for loving her though some of you never got the chance to meet her in person. She has fought so hard for so long and all of you have stood by her side and this touches her heart more than I can express..
As we enter the final stages of this battle, carry with you the messages of hope, strength and love that I know she has imprinted in your hearts.
She will remind you to "be stronger than not angry at" and now is indeed time to heed these powerful words.
She is the light in our hearts, the strength in our souls and the inspiration to help the other fellow kindreds to do good unto others and to remain strong.
I have been lucky enough to have had her in my life longer than anyone, days, months, years of memories and she has shaped me into the person I am today and will live out my days always asking myself "what would Chen do?" when I'm faced with life's challenges. She and I encourage you all to do the same now and always..
Raise a glass, light a candle, say a prayer, for our 50 foot woman.
