Pierce Brosnan's Daughter Dies Of Cancer

Charlotte Brosnan was just 41 years old when she died over the weekend of ovarian cancer. Her mother died of the same disease while married to Pierce Brosnan. Charlotte's grandmother also died of ovarian cancer. Charlotte had been fighting the cancer for for several years and leaves behind a husband and two children, ages 14 and 8. So, with the family history of ovarian cancer, would she have lived if she had a hysterectomy at some point? Did Angelina Jolie ever go in for that surgery, because I know she said she was going to, but I have not really seen any sealed proclamations from her highness that she has.

    So sad, RIP. One of the children is a daughter. Hopefully she can get the proper screenings and avoid the disease that has taken 3 generations of her immediate family. Scary.

    Will every post today be a slam on AJ, even if she's not remotely involved?

    Good thoughts sent to Pierce. This broke my heart for him all over again. Such a good dad & husband.

    *THIS WRITER* GRRRRR*****

    It tries to sound like a dude, because a hysterectomy is NOT for ovaries. But then ends w/ such ridiculous venom directed at an unrelated actress. Fuck this. This is Pierce Brosnan's daughter and you have to slip in Angie-hate. WTF?

    To have to watch his wife and his daughter die that way has to be heartbreaking and so difficult for Pierce and his family. My thoughts go out to them. She died at about the same age her mother died. Her mother was 43 when she passed.


    "Enty" - The proper term for removal of the ovaries is an oopherectomy. A hysterectomy removes the uterus or the uterus and the cervix. I just taught you something. Process it. Learn it. Use it.

    And PLEASE take your midol, or lexapro, or whatever it is that would make you cognizant of the fact that snarking on AJ in a post about a family losing a loved one is not cool.

You obviously haven't watched someone you love whither away to cancer. It's fucking horrid. Next stab at AJ and I won't be back. Fuck you and all the ad $ you are about to lose.

    And now this fake Enty continues to slam Angelina for no reason other than he/she can. I'm really tired of this negative smear against people for no reason. She might not be pure and a saint but why the hate?

      Pap smears do NOT detect ovarian. There is one blood test, a CA 125 that may show the presence, but it also has a lot of false positives. It is a silent disease if you don't know the signs. Hopefully Angie will help educate women when she has hers out.

    @Desiree - Paps screen for cervical cancer. Ovarian is much harder to detect, because oftentimes there are no symptoms manifested until the cancer is fairly progressed. I believe (and people with more knowledge, jump in here) there is a blood test that can be done if you are at increased risk for ovarian cancer. Make sure your doctor knows your family history.

  41. Fijigrrl7:10 AM

    @Desiree- no Paps screen for cervical cancer. Sometimes (rarely) a PAP will catch uterine cancer. There is no yearly check for ovarian cancer. It is often silent - hence the higher mortality rate.

    A complete hysterectomy includes the removal of the ovaries and cervix. A partial hysterectomy is usually just the uterus.

    According to Melissa Etheridge, this could have been avoided if she'd thought "happy thoughts" (sorry, ME's ignorance still burns me).

    @MISCH - yes, menopause is a bitch, and it varies person to person, but it's temporary. Some people can tough it out, others not.

    @Desiree - as others have stated, paps only pick up cervical cancer. Frufa is right, there is a blood test. The 2 tests used most often to screen for ovarian cancer are transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and the CA-125 blood test. CA-125 is a protein in the blood. In many women with ovarian cancer, levels of CA-125 are high. But CA-125 has not been found to be as useful as a screening test for ovarian cancer. The problem with using this test for screening is that common conditions other than cancer can also cause high levels of CA-125.

    I see a gynecological oncologist, and he believes that ovarian cancer starts in the fallopian tubes (this was an eye-opener). So if you're going to have your ovaries removed, best to take those tubes along with them.

    I was lucky enough to have an extreme symptom (a fast-growing cyst) of ovarian cancer and had a hysterectomy. I'm next taking the breast cancer gene test, and will definitely have the mastectomy and reconstruction if I have the gene. This was the plan long before AJ's announcement.

    I don't usually comment during the week but I have to make the exception here. The expressions of outrage are rather comical. This is a gossip site correct? Or did I miss the last memo that it was a happy place filled with cupcakes and rainbows?

    From Wikipedia "Gossip is idle talk or rumor about the personal or private affairs of others. It is one of the oldest and most common means of sharing facts, views and slander. This term is used pejoratively by its reputation for the introduction of errors and variations into the information transmitted, and it also describes idle chat, a rumor of personal, or trivial nature."

    Several commenters summed it up perfectly with regard to the increasingly negative tone and nastiness with the posts on this site. Plus the obvious baiting posts, which are so transparent that they are insulting. The A.J. snark is a perfect example of this.

    @ Sean Moffat - Yes, I agree 100% - this used to be a much smarter blog.

    So many of the long-term commenters don't bother to come here anymore. I have always come here for commenters, not so much the Enty posts. Except the blind item reveals.

    As for the troll attacks, if you look at the syntax, it appears Marcie, the so-called former prosecutor is a very busy (and mentally ill)woman. I did a google search with former criminal prosecutor as the key words. This woman is truly ill. Dozens of blogs about celebrities, her detractors, and lots of blogs aimed at pointing the finger of identity at other women... all paranoid, all delusional. Remember her so-called Hollywood career? She was an extra on a movie in Baltimore for one day and wrote a piece about it, along with her photograph. She launches troll attacks on a lot of sites, apparently.

    The CA-125 has a lot of false positives, so a lot of physicians are quire resistant to ordering my test. I have had two family doctors who absolutely refuse to do it - even though I said I'd pay for it out-of-pocket. My consolation prize was a transvaginal ultrasound.

    For those of you experiencing a rough peri and full out menopause, I recommend reading The Wisdom of Menopause by Dr. Christiane Northrup.

    Key thing I learned from this book that is VERY helpful is how refined carbs like bread contribute to hot flashes. I rarely get a hot flash when I avoid refined carbs.

    @ Surfer - the PSA test is substantially more accurate than the CA-125 test.

    Men should get a PSA test early on (in their 30s) to establish their numbers, so that way if there is an increase, they know something is possibly amiss.

    If I don't like or enjoy something on the Internet I actively go look for something else I might enjoy more. Bitterly complaining seems counter productive, no need to get your panties in a twist Madamchef.
    To Figgy re: your comment about "Enty" alienating his readers. But he isn't alienating anyone, you will all be back here tomorrow and the day after like you always are. Have you heard the story about The Boy Who Cried Wolf? Don't you feel foolish complaining all the time about the same thing like a broken record? Wait, I get it now.

    @Snowy Owls, probably as productive as scolding people for having opinions contrary to yours. Panties in a twist, indeed.

    RIP. This is so sad. I feel bad for her family!

    As for the faux-Enty...I'm resigned to the fact that the faux-Enty is the new Enty and it is just going to be that way (until there is another new Enty). I used to love this site, but not so much anymore. Even the trolls are not as much fun anymore. Unfortunately, us complaining about it drives the numbers up and this shit continues. I read CDAN because I'm a pop culture junkie and love to secretly celebustalk on the internet. I'll still read some, but I'll go back to my DListed and Celebitchy, too. I miss the Himmmm, RDJ, Count Jerkula, Jason Blue Eyes days.

    I remember when Pierce's wife died and he adopted her children. I was shocked to read about his daughter's passing. It's just so sad for this man and his family to relive another loss.

    Owl, who died and made you the boss? This site has steadily declined and it sucks. Any long time reader knows things have gone downhill.

    So horribly sad. I can't help but wonder what medical advice she was given -- with her history it could have been avoided.

    I had what my doc termed a "full hysterectomy" 6 years ago when I was 33. I had Stage 1 uterine cancer, but after discussing with my oncologist and understanding that I didn't give a crap about "fertility" (I swear why does every doc assume a woman under the age of 40 wants kids?) she recommended the hyst/ooph option to lower my risk of recurrence or other gyn cancers.

    I'm healthy as ever and have never taken a hormone of any kind. No menopause symptoms (well mood swings occasionally, but who knows if they are directly related or just me LOL) and all is well. And I don't have to worry about ovarian or cervical cancer now. The peace of mind is well worth it.

    Pierce is a class act and my heart hurts for him. I wish him and his family well.

    My gyno told me that removing ovaries gives you an 85-90 % chance of not getting ovarian cancer, which confused me. When I asked, he said it's because it's actually cancer of the abdominal lining. This was news to me. I ditched the wonky uterus,kept my ovies anyway.

    So sad for Pierce & his family. His daughter looked so much like her mother that it must have made it doubly painful for Pierce.

    My dad had his prostate cancer picked up by a PSA test. I realise they aren't perfect, but my dad is walking around because of it. I agree with getting a base reading & a physical. My husband is infertile & I insisted in order to make sure there was nothing more sinister underlying the issue.

    I had severe endometriosis & had a hysterectomy at 41. I kept my ovaries, but I feel if I hadn't had my uterus removed I could have developed cancer. My endometriosis was severe & the uterine lining would come out & attach to other organs of my body. It has been 20 months post-op & I feel it has taken all this time for my digestive system to recover from 31 years of having a foreign entity attach to it.

    As an ovarian cancer survivor, who at 29 had both a hysterectomy and an oophorectomy I feel I can comment on a few things here. Yes I did HRT for 11 years but my doc took me off of it when I hit 40 because of the breast cancer risk. Pap Smears do not detect ovarian cancer - CA125 tests do. That is what saved my life - tho I had to fight tooth and nail to get them. It's a blood test, that if given to women with a maternal history of ovarian cancer,can be an early detection aid. At the time I was going thru it - normal levels were supposed to be between 11-25 now I believe it's 1 and 35. regardless, I never tested lower then 125 and had 27 test done in a one year period.

    Also -I feel so so sorry for Pierce and his family. and Yes, as I am alive and proof of it, she would have survived if she had a prophylactic oopherectomy - provided it was early enough.

    PS - Know when to place your snark enty - it was unwarranted here

    Pierce lost his wife in 1993. 20 years ago. Then his daughter. wow. What a horrible set of circumstances.

    I figured there would be a Jolie snipe before I even read the post. It's the way this blog has been going lately.

    It's the regular commenters, kvetching as you may think they are Snowy, who make it worth still coming here. Saying that they should just quit complaining if they don't like the nasty tone of the obviously new-Entys doesn't change that.
    I can't stand AJ, but was disturbed by the nasty potshot. It's the fact that the commenters all replied similarly (until your irrational defense) that gives this place some sort of hope in my eyes.

    Ovarian cancer is no joke. My heart goes out to The Brosnan family.

    Prayers and kind thoughts for the whole family, but especially Pierce, who's now revisiting a nightmare from 20 years ago. :-(

    Snark on Angie all you want, "Enty" (well, not really; for one, I'm 99% sure you're not the Enty we all knew and loved, and two, you're risking driving off readers--and clicks/hits--in droves by being such a goddamn catty bitch), but if Angie going public with her story helps save even one other woman's life, then it will have been well worth all the crap she's taken about putting the word out. I do hope Charlotte's daughter gets tested at an appropriate age, so she can make whatever decisions she needs to about her own health and hopefully be the first woman in four generations not to die from ovarian cancer; in the meantime, "Enty", save your spite for better targets, and don't shit all over a family's grief just because you HAD to get in a potshot at someone you don't like.

    Sorry for starting something I couldn't finish earlier. Let me put it a different way, what if there is no more Enty? He's retired or lost interest writing or dead even and he's never coming back. Will you still complain to deaf ears? I couldn't be bothered and would move on but that's just me but maybe it's a female thing and I totally understand and respect that. I'm also looking forward to reading more Ted as another person mentioned.

    I'm days late but I feel the need to echo so many of my other old CDANers that I have considered friends for many years: This is not the Enty I fell in love with. I don't know what happened; whether the site was sold, ghost writers were hired, or whatever, but I am so, so disappointed. I don't visit here nearly as often as I once did and even when I do, I only read a fraction of the posts. I truly miss the old days.

    I also find the AJ shade a little too snarky for such a sensitive and deeply emotional issue that has affected so many lives. However, I tend to look at both sides of any issue. Enty's been producing a high profile, well written, juicy, high content blog 7 days a week for the last however many years. He can't take a day off, he can't ever stop and rest, take a break get some perspective. Plus he's got that hateful, psycho troll Marcie to deal with, who's actively trying to offend everyone in the room constantly. Rather than us being grateful for his constant hard work for us, constantly feeding us interesting posts, pictures, gossip, blinds and information, we gripe, we bitch, we complain, that he's fake, he's mean, he's not funny, he's trying to be funny, etc. How would you like that if you were the one running this blog? I don't think I'd be able to keep doing it, day after day, putting my best in to something every day to give to people for free then have them gripe and complain that Im not entertaining them, I'm offending them, how dare I, etc? I think I'd shut down the site and see how people liked it. Let's be grateful for what we have, rather than bemoaning it's not better. Or better yet start your own insider's gossip blog if you think you can do better.
