Supporting Andre

Stone Mountain, GA

Story

This page has been set up to support Andre and Bonnie Murphy during his journey through hospice. Andre has been diagnosed with Leptomeningeal Disease, which means the cancer has spread to the leptomeninges (the membrane surrounding the brain) and cerebral spinal fluid which goes down his spinal cord. His oncologist says there are no clinical trials or other treatment options--the doctors can’t do any more for him. Dre is home and as comfortable as possible Bonnie recently lost her job and is able to take care of Dre full-time at home--but is also on chemotherapy for an auto-immune disorder. Support from friends is very much needed. We love you and thank you all for your prayers!


Special Notes

For those who want to prepare food, Dre can’t have dairy products like cheese, yogurt and milk. He also can’t have shellfish. A little butter is ok. He likes ginger ale, plain Utz or Wise chips.

Hey Dre, like Lee said, this isn't the place for the best Dre/CNNI stories. Some of my favorite times at work were back 95-96 at CNNI feeds/edit pool. Blacking tapes, taking feeds. "Hey Dre, should we roll on that?" "Nah, Internat don't need that." "You sure? It's a Peter Arnett pkg?" "Nah we're good." Laughing as a certain anchor would go to Reggie's while we would finish their pkgs. You saying you were never going to cut your hair. Still not use to the short hair. Flash forward to JVM and the scroll. Anyway, you know Morris wants you to stay C O O L.
