Hello all - an update on Linda Tamburino: she has gone downhill fast. Radiation and chemo haven't worked - she was scheduled for surgery first on Friday and then yesterday, but her platelets and hemoglobin never got back up to pre-chemo numbers, so they're out of treatment options. She is being moved to hospice. I ask for your prayers again - also - she has specifically offered up her suffering for priests and seminarians, so if you could pass along the word to any priests and/or seminarians you know to pray for her and her husband Bob, and their two college-age children, Kendra and Eric, it would be so much appreciated. Caringbridge dot org has a guestbook and log if you wanted to look at her progress, but really right now prayers are what's wanted. Thanks again in advance.
Praying for Linda.
Linda and her family is in our prayers.
Prayers for Linda and her family.
Prayers for healing, peace and courage.
Prayers up for Linda, definitely. I just came off of retreat at Conception Abbey in Missouri. It was good to see so many young faces in the Benedictine robes. Hope springs eternal.
I’d like to add Sharon, if I may. She has about 3 weeks left, they think. She has hospice at home. Her husband and 3 kids will miss her very much. It didn’t have to happen, either. After a double mastectomy she developed new symptoms. The military docs told her it was all in her head and sent her to a psychologist. In that 6 months, the cancer (now in her bones) was left alone to grow like crazy.
Prayers for Linda and for Sharon and for those they leave behind.
Prayer sent
An update - Today, on the Feast of Christ the King, at 4pm, Linda died (lung/bone cancer). She was 56. She will be greatly missed. Thank you for your prayers - please remember her family. Thanks -
Prayers for Linda’s family and friends as well as for the repose of her soul.
