It sounded so grim at the time... when we first found out her situation. I'm so relieved to hear she's making a comeback (health-wise, not career wise).

** Although a return to the airwaves would be wonderful!

Listened to her regularly back in the 00s. I knew she was a heavy smoker so I was always worried about that for her. Glad she’s reporting cancer-free!

The news I’ve been waiting for came in last week’s scans. I am cancer-free! The tumors are gone. Not just smaller, gone!

I really missed her point of view, voice and watching her on TV. I hope recovers enough to return to TV !

Much love and healing thoughts to you Randi!

You're so very welcome! I took the retirement and cancer diagnosis announcement earlier this year very hard.
I kept thinking and hoping she would pull through it because she's such a fierce fighter.
When I got this email I was ecstatic... and also knew others would want to know of her victory.
I was thrilled to share the news!

She sure has been through an ordeal. I'm happy to hear the cancer seems to be gone. Let's hope it stays that way.

I like her a lot. Didn't like take on HRC. Listened to her when I was an undergrad.
