I always liked her and was so very sorry when I heard she was ill. It's been a long hard struggle and I too hope she is at peace.
I hate hearing of the death of our favorite Tv Stars, Patrick Swayze and Dirty Dancing is my all time favorite, I swear if he passes I'll have a hard day and likely cry. Now also one of the Monkeys is fighting cancer, Peter Torke has cancer of the neck that has returned . Just reminds us where we all are in life UUGGHH
Jill - me, too.....
This is so hard...we all need to help lift each other up and help each other through this......
And for Goodness sakes, it does make me wonder about the need for cures and treatments.
But mostly Dr's. Some of the Best in the World have been leaving Boston and moving to India.
That is upcoming as the best place to have surgery. THis has to change.
I had heard about Peter but I thought he was sorta ok it started in his neck but....
(March 4, 2009) - A rare form of cancer has been discovered on the tongue of ex-Monkees member Peter Tork, who will undergo surgery this week in New York City. The 67-year-old oldies legend told RadarOnline he has been diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a cancer most commonly found in a person's salivary glands. Doctors are optimistic after a biopsy showed the cancer hasn't spread beyond the initial site.
