Richards, 72, went in for tests Monday and got the diagnosis Tuesday, said spokesman Bill Maddox.

1. Well, we'll put her in our prayers then.

2. Man, that sucks.
Serious stuff. I hope it's early.

I know she is a former alcoholic and probably a smoker...unfortunately those are two big risk factors for this type of cancer.

Best wishes to her.

3. If I had one wish.......it might be the end of cancer.
I wonder if she is or was a smoker?

5. Re: Ann Richards
Does anyone know of a good email address for her. I would like to write her and let her know that there are many people that admire her and are thinking of her at this moment.

6. She will be in our prayers
She is a great lady and I hope that she will recover. M.D. Anderson is a great hospital.

7. Ann, my brother had that too
Just had the surgery, and is home early, with a speedy recovery. My prayers are with you - and I wish to thank the DUers here who prayed for my brother-his recovery has been incredible.
