Thank you for the update Bev. The news actually makes me feel physically sick too. I'm so sorry to hear this. Kathryn is one wonderful lady that's for sure, her spirit and courage never ceases to amaze me. She is loved so much. May she be comfortable, at peace and surrounded by her loved ones.

Kathryn,
May you and your family find peace in the upcoming days and weeks.
The strength, tenacity and courage that you have shown over the past 4 years has been a inspiration not only to those on this board, but I'm sure also to your family and friends.

My wish for you is that you find happiness and comfort surrounding by your family and friends and that you can spend quality, pain free time with those whom you love.

Best wishes for you and your family, Kathryn.

I want to especially thank you Kathryn for all, for your many contributions to penetrate the fog and map the mysteries of Mt Olymphia, long whited out by silence, medical misinformation, and the unknown here, until starting 2010.

Kathryn,
I so wish you could stay forever and continue to be my hero and our example for living with terminal cancer.

The same day I read this message that you had entered hospice I got the bad news that my cancer is back.

Mets to the bones and skipped the liver and lungs. I am heartbroken for us both as your cancer followed this same path.

Rare but real. And this is exactly how I would describe you.

Thank you for your work to bring the world closer to a cure for colon cancer.

Hugs.
