Dolly Parton‘s reps have revealed her cause of death. The iconic singer died after a “brief battle” with cancer at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, her reps said Tuesday.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the statement from her reps to People magazine read.
There are rare (gratefully) leukemic cancers that can kill one very quickly. I had a friend who was feeling fine. She went to have teeth cleaned and began to bleed from her gums. The dentist couldn’t stop the bleeding and called an MD located in the same building. She sized up the problem and called an ambulance. My friend died three days later in the hospital. The post mortem showed a form of leukemia.
Sad to contract a turbo cancer after donating so much to ModeRNA towards jabs research/funding.
Dr William Makis has had positive results treating all kinds of cancers, including pancreatic, with IVM and FenBen.
Prayers up for your dear friend, Christina. 🙏🏻
Turbo cancer was my first thought.
Thank you!
That is kind of the description, spare as it was.
What I’m saying is perhaps Dolly’s primary Doctor told her, due to a particular diagnosis, she was likely to die within the next two or three years. Her reaction to that was to double down trying to create and accomplish at an even higher level than she was creating and accomplishing before she received this information.
That’s very different than the general acknowledgement that no one lives forever.
My dad had no symptoms until one day breaking his shoulder just picking up a 25 pound box.
Diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer resulting from a lung cancer he didn’t know he had.
Died in 5 months.
Nice perspective.
I am so sorry for your loss.
That is heartbreaking.
I lost my nephew too, but it was a little bit longer.
4 months.
Take care, and God bless.
I can’t help but wonder if there was a reason they chose not to disclose what type of cancer Dolly had. Maybe it was to protect her privacy and how she would be remembered.
For example, cancers like rectal or cervical cancer can carry a lot of stigma, and perhaps she wouldn’t have wanted her legacy as a country music legend associated with a particular diagnosis. I’m not suggesting she had either one, just wondering if keeping the type private was a way to make sure people remembered Dolly for her music, kindness, and incredible legacy rather than her illness.
Back in May 2006 my Dad was diagnosed with end stage lung cancer. He had spent the previous winter taking care of Mom’s issues and ignored his until he developed pneumonia.
In June (we believe) Mom suffered strokes and became bedridden and “not there.”
Dad passed away in September, and Mom just before Christmas.
Lung cancer? Both had quit smoking in 1963 when the link to cancer was issued.
I hate to annoy so many people, but the USA cancer death rate per 100,000 people has been declining since 2018. On average, from 2018 to 2024, for men and women combined, the rate declined 1.5% per year. Projections for 2025 are similar, and declines prior to 2018 are similar.
If “the jab” was / is a significant cancer risk, why doesn’t it show up in the data?
This is not to say the COVID vaccines were without risk. No vaccine is zero risk. Forcing the COVID vaccines on healthy young people, in most situations, made no sense.
Agreed!
I saw her one year at the LA Hayride, can’t
remember the year. It was prior to 1958.
My mother died two months after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Her longtime husband died a year or less ago. A lot of people don’t last long after a longtime spouse dies.
Yes Queen Elizabeth II is a prime example. She passed away about a year and a half after her husband Prince Phillip died.
