I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she asked me to post here.

Last week Katherine was in kidney failure, coma for 4 days. She was not expected to survive the weekend. Family and friends came and basically pulled her thru - the doctors say it’s a miracle she is alive. During all the testing during the crisis it was discovered that just 3 months after finishing breast cancer treatment that she has developed terminal brain cancer. With aggresive chemo and radiation treatment she may have up to 12 months. She will be treated and staying in PA. She will be putting her NC house up for sale and be placing the whippets in new homes. She will also be putting her 2006 Suzuki up for sale. In addition, there will be a major estate sale and we are planning a NC memorial service.

truly saddened.

How incredibly sad.. I do so like that woman,, & I am so tired of such young people being taken by cancer.. It wasnt this way when I was a kid.. whats changed?

I am .. truly devastated..   :'(
May her time remaining be free of worry and pain..  or at least as she wants it to be.
She is a fighter.. and a hell of a nice lady.

My thoughts and love are focused your way brave woman.


Fear not because there is no such thing as death,
it is no different than changing sweaters like Mr.Rogers
used to do and walking over to the next room;
we've all seem to have done this countless times already.


Also be ready to answer the one question:
"how much did you love?"


p.s.  I would take the doggies from you if I was in the US.


Mercy and peace to you and yours,
Richard.

I haven't been around much, but something told me to check in today.  I am deeply saddened by this news.   Isn't amazing how someone you have never met can touch your heart in such a way?  Mike, I'm glad you are close by her and doing what you can.  I wish I were closer, but a piece of my heart is there.  I'm glad she cared enough about us to share her fight.  Such a remarkable woman!  Please pass along all our love and well-wishes.

Yea, why does everyone end up with cancer? Someone out there knows the answer and something's got to be done, how do they sleep at night?

1 in 3 persons alive today will statistically die from cancer;
the rest mostly of heart conditions and few from actual old age.


There is not one single thing that causes cancer.

There are around 200 different types of cancers (mutated-rogue cells).

Every body reacts different at a cellular level.


It is our lifestyles, environment, pesticides, fertilizers and factory
farming hormones and antibiotics, it is chemtrails, heavy metals,
microwaves, cellphone towers, wi-fi and all our toxic, untested
discount wally-products and electronic gadgets, asbestos, teflon
and fire retardants, along with pharmaceuticals and vaccine
side-effects and the all CRAP we put into our bodies. Also the
funny thing about food additives and GMO's is that they're NOT FOOD!

Root canals seem to be a common denominator among cancer victims;
decades of small patches of in-body flesh necrosis seems to be an
amazing spawning ground for unnatural toxic chemical interactions
(i.e. very concentrated poisonous gases interacting with healthy cells).
 
A negative mindset and disposition also contributes in lowering
ones immune system and resistance to a hostile environment;
this is scientifically proven btw (mind over matter).


WE ALL can make the change and STOP THIS MADNESS
by keeping our money and attention away from the
companies that have proven time and time again that the
customer's interests and well-being is the LAST thing on
their agenda.

Also don't forget cancer makes A LOT of money, nobody
on their side wants to really cure it, healthy, happy ppl
do not generate these psychopaths any money at all.


Peace.
