    Why not start a thread for everyone that has cancer? I mean I think it's terrible and all that she has it and I feel for her I do (hits home) but what makes her special?

    Very sad. I've been hearing about way too many women in their 20's and 30's being diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer lately. Very frightening.

    When I saw this, I thought, "ooo, her Mom had breast cancer." How frightening. I hope she does well with treatment and makes a full recovery.

    I know that I, having had breast cancer last year, am always interested in hearing anyone's story of it. I don't get offended when celebrities breast cancer is headline news. It just keeps people thinking about it, and yes--knowing that younger women DO get breast cancer. I was 34, with NO family history.

    Take care,
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Take care,

    i agree, hearing about a celebs bout with any disease in the headlines can only bring more attention and hopfully, some help.
    Peace, Love.

    Sorry we didn't realize you've done so many TV sitcoms yourself....

    easy mistake to make...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I heard that on CNN also. I hope she will be ok. She's so young. They said she will be on a TV show in September called "Stand Up to Cancer" that sounded like a benefit for the illness.

    You really hear it louder in the media when it is a younger woman. I think a lot of people still think of BC as an "old lady disease"--something our grandmothers get. I was only 34 when diagnosed. A lot of people also think that BC is curable--it is highly treatable, but is never termed "cured." I was Stage 1, but it could still come back, even with all the treatment I did (surgery, chemo/Herceptin, radiation, anti-hormonals). You can be termed "cured" when you die of something else. I hope she does really well with treatment--a lot of younger women aren't offered MRIs, but she did because her mother had BC. I could go on and on, but I won't. ;)

    So, I get what you are saying--like, why shouldn't the fact that I had BC at age 34 be on the news and garner support from around the world? I am just not a public figure, and it wouldn't be all that big of a news story. Just the way it goes.

    The women on the BC board are glad to hear that something is made public like this (though CERTAINLY not happy that others are diagnosed--we just wish it would go away for good). It brings attention to it. BC already gets a lot of attention, but that's because we women are really loud!!! :)

    Take care,

    you gotta relax. its not "big" news. its "newsworthy" because people know who she is.....it is especially newsworthy to those of us who grew up wondering why our penis' were getting hard while watching kelly bundy at the age of 9 or 10! ah youth! it is also newsworthy to many of us who do not associate breast cancer to someone of that age. it brings awareness.

    plus my aunt's partner has breast cancer also. but i didnt feel the need to start a thread about her because nobody here knows her.

    i'm not a celebrity gossipy type by any means. but when one of them who i like comes down with something like this, i feel like passing that along because its newsworthy to other people with like minded interests.

    if, god forbid, eddie vedder develops throat cancer and we start talking about it in here, are you going to get all pissy? do you get pissy anytime anyone talks about mike's krohns issues?

    point made? alright then.

  • Awwww, that seriously sucks ass!

    I like Christina Applegate - she is one of those pretty and quirky women that I don't want to stab in the eye with a spork! (there aren't all that many of them)

    I actually like her!

    this sucks...I hope she makes a full recovery.

    hope she gets well soon.


    cancer is one fucked up thing.. our governments spend billions fighting a man in a cave and yet we cant cure cancer?

    fucked up
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I read about that. I hope she recovers well.

    My aunt had a double mastectomy. When they rebuilt her chest from spare tissues elsewhere, she would show everyone the new twins. They were not pretty! :eek: However, it was nice to see my aunt had recovered so well and was happy with what she had.

    If they released all the cures for they already have for all these diseases, how will they control the population?

    You are kidding, right? That is one "conspiracy theory" that I just won't, can't and will not buy. There are new drugs and technologies released each and every year for BC (and other cancers, but I am not "in the know" on those). There are people working their asses off to find ways to stop or halt the growth of breast cancer. I am a beneficiary of one of those--Dr. Slamon, who helped invent Herceptin.

    I know that sometimes it's hard to resist just posting something to post, and I truly don't mean to be a bitch, but come on.

    I still want YOU to take care. :)

    Christina Applegate=Kelly bundy! if you grew up in the 80's, she's an icon. People loved that show and are sorry to hear she went through this, myself included.

    I don't think it's a "population control" as you said in XFiles type fashion but I do think they make a ton of money off chemo/cancer drugs and AIDS also.

    And my grandmother and my stepfather both died from cancer (lung and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma)

    Agreed, dunk. Cancer sucks and we seem to have our perspectives all out of whack

    Sorry but I believe it. I also believe the government know's exactly what's causing people to develop this disease and they're just not doing anything about it. People are quick to pin cancer on smoking and sure it's a cause of it but I know MANY people with the disease that have never smoked in their life.

    I could go on forever but I won't, it's just what I believe. This stuff just doesn't show up out of nowhere.
