JohnTravolta - Verified

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while. But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.
All my love,
JT

Yeah this is brutal.

It wasn’t a good movie, Gotti, but she was good in it.

They seemed like a happy couple.

I just don’t understand that with cars driving themselves around, quantum computers becoming a reality even if in their infancy and leaps and bounds in technology..

Why do so many still die from cancer?

Well, this is shocking. Sorry to hear this news.

In only two years, she was gone... sad for her and her family.

Let's say they cured cancer tomorrow. A multibillion dollar a year industry and hundreds of thousands if not more jobs would disappear overnight. Professional fundraisers who make fortunes appealing to our good will and desire for a cure would have to find another way to make a buck off of other people's sorrow. Not going to happen.

I know, I'm cynical but this is the world we live in now.

According to Wiki, Preston was briefly engaged to Charlie Sheen in 1990, but she ended the relationship after Sheen shot her in the arm.

Preston denied that Sheen shot her, but not until 21 years later, in 2011.

No you must be right because I’ve been reading about cures for cancer since I was a kid back in 1975

I want to know how Ruth bader Ginsburg is alive with pancreatic cancer. That’s like an unbeatable cancer

You’re spot on about a cancer cure. Everything is incentivized to keep fundraising and treatment on the treadmill. Sam old, same old. A “cure” would see all of that come crashing down.

Some young, hot shot naive researchers that aren’t in the big pharma game experimenting in their basement will eventually kick the money bucket over. I believe cures already exist.

That’s why the FDA exists.....to prevent certain cures from coming to market,and protect the lobbyists.

As to RBG’s survival, bear in mind the old saying that the Devil takes care of his own.

One of Preston’s last screen roles came in the 2018 crime biopic Gotti, in which she appeared opposite her husband.

While promoting the film at the Cannes Film Festival, the actress spoke to reporters about their long relationship.

“We took the time to get to know each other,” she said. “Marriage doesn’t just happen on its own; you have to keep creating love.

“We also keep it light. Neither of us like to fight so we purposely do not push each other’s buttons.”

I wonder what she traded to stick around this long.

Cancer isn't one disease with one cause.

To believe what you are saying is true is to believe that millions of people over the years, everyone involved in the research, treatment and care are heartless ghouls who care only for money.

No one has spent their lives and careers fighting it.

A conspiracy so vast as to be unimaginable...and nobody's said a word. Many cancers, that were a death sentence 20, 50 years ago are being cured or put into remission.
