Prayers out for Miss (?) Spencer!

Speaking out for Breast Cancer Awareness month, Spencer, 49, who is now a veterinarian,

Last I checked, it was far harder to become a vet than to become a doctor. Hats off to this lady regarding her drive and accomplishments....

Earlier this week I came across the TV show while flipping through channels and her character was bedside in a hospital visiting the actor who played George Jefferson’s TV brother. All the best to her.

I watched that show enough to quote dialog from episodes.

Best wishes Danielle!

I have a niece going through reconstruction surgery so this hits home. I wish her well.

Yes, she certainly is pretty. It sounds as if the cancer is very early stage. If so, she should do well.
