Wow, sad smut
ReplyDeletefingers crossed for the Queen of Soul
ReplyDeleteI guess the treatment worked.
ReplyDeleteThat was the popular guess, so praying for the Queen!
ReplyDeleteWhy would you reveal this? You sit, protecting pedophiles, rapists, abusers, drug addicts, theives and total Hollywood scum, but choose to reveal someone's struggle with life and death?
ReplyDeleteShe still hasnt been seen recently
ReplyDeleteReally, if she's trying to keep a lid on it, who are you to reveal this? The Enty I used to read had some respect. Now all I see here are stolen blind items and reveals that are either run of the mill or disrespectful ones like this. pathetic.
ReplyDeleteExplains the wedding.
ReplyDeleteGreatest living female singer. God bless.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands best friend has a sister and was told the same thing about her stage 4 cancer. That was 2 years ago and now there isn't a trace of cancer. I hope Aretha was in the same experimental program, if that is what it is she has.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. My best friend lost his battle to cancer five years ago. The experimental treatments he went through, "cured him"! All better! For three months he got to travel and go on a farewell tour to see all of his friends. The treatments were actually masking the symptoms of his tumors. They didn't know until he tried to get out of bed one morning and couldn't walk due to a tumor on a spine. He passed a month later but I hope that treatment has been honed and studied and can help others with cancer.
DeleteI hope she makes it. She's amazing.
ReplyDeleteShe had to cancel some shows a few weeks back. These were the rescheduled shows from last years cancellations.
ReplyDeleteAretha,I hope you pull through. I might have to stream me some Queen today. She is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere will never be another Queen of Soul, NEVER! It's HER!
ReplyDeleteNot to deflect from Aretha, but I hope Valerie Harper can find (or maybe HAS found) some kind of similar treatment. Her diagnosis has just haunted the shit out of me since she announced it this spring. I literally pray for her as though she were family.
ReplyDeleteSorry. Thread hijack over. :-)
I hope that whoever violated HIPAA laws get's slapped with that 250k fine.
ReplyDelete:^)
ReplyDeleteOh, JEEZ.........
ReplyDelete:^(
@cara, it's only a HIPAA violation if the disclosure was from a medical provider or covered entity under the law. If someone shares their PHI with friends or business associates, they're free to blab (maybe not morally but legally).
ReplyDeleteRuined my entire day, damn.
ReplyDeleteNoone like aretha. She's had such a rough go at life. No matter what, I wish her some peace.
ReplyDeleteThisis from 2010:
ReplyDeleteClick!
She actually survived pancreatic cancer for 3 years, which is veeeery long for this kind of cancer. Most die within the first 6 months.
Be that as it may, I really hope the treatment works and will be available to a lot more people soon.
well, this is just fucking depressing
ReplyDeleteCome on? HIPPA? Get over yourself, honestly take it easy
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to stop you right there @dawn. HIPAA is serious business and if a medical professional did release this info, HELL FUCKING YEAH THEY SHOULD BE FINED!
DeleteWhy was this a blind? Why not just report it at an appropriate time. So sad.
ReplyDeleteOh well, to put this site in perspective, I just got a call from my son telling me his good friend's Mom passed away this morning at 46 from Ovarian cancer. 2 weeks ago she was posting on Facebook that she was looking forward to some upcoming events. So sad. Two teenage sons and a husband left behind.
ReplyDeleteHow sad. Yeah, she cancelled all of her Canada shows this summer at Jazz fests and such.
ReplyDeleteStay strong Queen!!!
ReplyDeleteStay strong Queen!!!
ReplyDelete"It would be totally disruptive to stop them now and go into concert with total success right at the door," Franklin said. "I love you much and more than the spoken word can tell. I'll see you next summer."
