Thank you for letting us know. I was wondering about her too. She tried so hard and struggled so much. What a horrible disease we are dealing with.

I never met Renee here but I often saw her posts and her beautiful photo and wondered if the reason she wasn't around was this. Sometimes this is such a sad place but I wonder how hard it would be to have to go it alone. I'm thankful every day for you ladies.

I am so saddened by this news. We were diagnosed around the same time and finished treatment at the same time. I remember being a little jealous that she made it into the ABAGOVOMAB clinical trial and I did not. Unfortunately, she didn't participate for long. It breaks my heart that this awful disease stole her future. Thank you for sharing her story Jennali.

Thanks for letting us know. That is sad. I pray for peace and strength for her family.
I'm so tired of dealing with all of this that one of my first responses was to be envious of her.

Hi all,
I want everyone to know you were a great part of Renee's life. She spoke often of her friends on this site. I was a co-worker with her for 4 years and our families became very close. My wife and I e-mailed and spoke to Renee almost everyday. She spoke of the hope that everyone who is part of this alliance gave her.... her day to day feelings, and living with is disease.
You are all in our prayers & God Bless.
