Sue Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm hoping this is ok to do. I just got a letter yesterday from Dr. Grubb, as I'm sure that alot of you have that his wife Barbara has brain cancer. My letter was dated May and I just received it yesterday so I'm not quite sure how she is doing..If anyone is game I'd like to do a candle vigil one day next week. Basically you just light a candle all at the same time, and send prayers, good thoughts, anything you wish. Please let me know what you think.I'm thinking next Wednesday at 7:00God Bless ((Hugs))Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sue, Dr. Barbara Strauss (Dr. G's wife) has glioblastoma. They already have done surgery, removed what they could, and left a chemo pack in her head to try to slow/stop growth. I believe that the surgery was in late April, or early May. She is now going through radiation and chemo. He has been taking time to care for her during her treatment.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Sending cards would be lovely. You can get his address from the physician's listing on the main DINET site--his office staff will pass all notes and cards along to him and to Barbara.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
