Roma Torre Diagnosed With Colon Cancer

Roma Torre is taking a leave of absence after announcing she has been diagnosed with Colon Cancer after a colonoscopy

She will undergo chemo @ Sloan Kettering . No other details were reported. I just heard this on NY 1. She admits to having waited to long thinking she was immune as she led a healthy lifestyle. I have been going regularly every 3 years after having a bowel resection years ago after polyps kept popping up in the same area. I have one coming up in October. Time to stock up on apple juice. I urge those over 50 who never had one to get one asap.

Prayers to her and her family

What show is she taking a leave of absence from?

Ah. Thanks for the missing info.

"She is slated to have surgery on Thursday to remove the cancer, at which time a diagnosis can be made about the stage of her disease. Torre's doctor, Martin Weiser, told NY1 health reporter Erin Billups that Torre's prognosis is good."

No mention of chemo, Roxy.

Wishing Roma Torre well - with much appreciation of her as a great lover of theater, who communicates that love beautifully.

PRS, you made me almost spit health food at my screen.

I wish her well. Have always been a fan. She is one of the few theater critics I really like.

I am a huge fan of hers, as is a coworker-she's the one critic we discuss. She has a way of making reviews comprehensible.

All my best to her for a speedy recovery.
