We would like to tell you about Rhona K6NOO.
She had a CT scan of the abdomen a little over a week ago and the results were cancer throughout her abdomen, liver, and pancreas. Kip also tells me her lungs are affected. She was at Cottage Hospital but is home now. It has been a shock to all of us, who are close to her, and it has been devastating to Kip and to Rhona herself. She has been such a fighter through all of her trials these past few years but this journey is a real blow to her and her loved ones.
It would be a good idea (if Rhona meant something to you) to call, send a card, take up a meal or just pray that she will be comfortable and live out the time she has here with us in peace. It is a shock to many of us. It will be a loss to us and to Amateur Radio.
We remember working with her on the Hamfest the year that she was chairman. That was one of the best Hamfests we have ever had. To thank us afterwards for a job well done she had a BBQ and swimming party. It was a blast and she wanted to just thank us for a job well done. That's Rhona. Well, we think it would be a good idea if we can do now for her. Even if it is kind word or a little note please extend yourself now that we have a chance. She will be missed and if you really know her you know what we mean.
We spoke to her today and she was having a hard time eating. She took a little apple sauce and wanted to try a little avocado this evening. She hurts when she eats but she is trying to keep a little down and get some nourishment. She took one treatment of chemo but says she will not continue because she does not feel the results of the chemo are worth it.
So, we are sorry to come to you with this news but we want you to have a chance to write, call or just pray for her.
Thank you. If you would like to know more details, please do not hesitate to call or email us. 966-7060
