She had breast cancer. She was so much fun to watch. Will miss her.
Well said DP. She was just a young lady really. You never know when the/our time is up in this life.
Sad news indeed. I’m now getting very worried about what’s happened to Dierdre Bolton as well. She’s been off the air for months now.
I think breast cancer.
I haven’t found out yet.
Love it when the newscasters are actually intelligent, so few are.
RIP. Prayers up for Brenda and her family.
So sad. I had no idea she was sick since I no longer watch Fox News. I did used to catch and enjoy her show. I don’t invest or watch business shows, but I loved her show.
Wow, I’m stunned. I hope she knew or found the Lord.
Terry Keenan too? I haven’t had cable for several years since cutting the cord so I had no idea.
Such a wonderful lady. Enjoyed her work on Fox Business very much.
Rest in Peace
In August, 2007, we discovered that my wife had a small lump in her left breast (about 8mm). After the biopsy proved to be cancer, we were told that if the tumor were surgically removed and no further treatment were done, she would only have a 45% chance of surviving the next 5 years. But if she had both chemo and radiation treatment, she would have a 95% chance of surviving 5 years. But if she only had 1 of the 2 treatments, she would only have about 75% chance of surviving 5 years. She did it all and has had no re-occurance. Unfortunately, she had a friend who encountered the same scenario and she did the same...but she and her doctor failed to followup on a small spot on her right lung which quickly grew to the size of an orange, which killed her in less than a year.
