Ravaged by a spreading and incurable cancer, songbird Olivia Newton-John is clinging to life in the hopes she can see her only child, Chloe Lattanzi, marry in the new year!
+1.
We all do. ‘Pod
But still, it’s always good practice when you want to think someone else is getting God’s Justice (even though your wrong here) to sit down and take an account of all the times you didn’t. I should probably be dead several times over with some of the stupid stuff I did when I was young.
Drink some coffee and sober up.
Pretty then...
“Look at Me Doorknobs” now.!
Incredible voice range - have some of her tunes and the “Totally Hot” album puts it on display.
Her daughter ruined her face. Just awful.
Details on her difficult to treat breast cancer
Imho, Christian’s have no need to hear such comments, and non Christian’s are only driven away by them. There’s a time, a place, AND MOSTLY, a tone. I don’t think bellflowers comment had any of the three.
I think you are getting her 70s film career mistaken with someone else’s. Grease was fantastic but that was her only success in film.
The only other movie she made in the 70s was “Toomorrow” and it was shown at one theater for one week.
Even if you go through 1990 she only made 3 other movies, “Xanadu”, “Two of a Kind” and “A Mom for Christmas” (a television film). None did well.
And she was not in Saturday Night Fever.
I saw her in concert in the late 70’s at the Phoenix coleseum, she put on an awesome show.
It can go fast or slow depending upon the type of cancer and the genetic disposition of the individual. This article only talked about the period from 2017 to present. I’ve seen women die from breast cancer much faster. One of my mates wife died at 35 after being diagnosed only 4-5 years afterwards.
Did Cher also have ribs removed?
Sad to hear this about Olivia. Liked her.
Yeah.....her eyes, face, just gorgeous.
I’m very sorry to hear your friend has died.
My wife is doing well, still bedridden but able to get on and off the pot now without help. :)
And, she can make it downstairs on her own when we have to go for a doctor’s appointment.
We are both still on a keto-genic diet and I give her MCT oil, which has been shown to slow the growth of tumors:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7790697
I make an MCT oil based shake for her but she doesn’t like to drink it. The protein powder is sweetened with yucky tasting stevia, and the MCT oil gives her a queasy feeling. And she still wants carby things. I gave in last night and brought home Mexican food with tortilla chips.
Here is my latest shake formula. I emailed it along with some comments to our oncology clinic. We were in the infusion room a couple months ago and our oncologist was attending a lady that was probably nearing the end. She was on the phone with her husband, crying, saying she can’t do it any more. The oncologist gave her a bottle of “Ensure”.
“To the oncology staff: I just formulated a drink for Shirley based on MCT oil. It’s 700 total calories for an 8 oz drink.
“Ensure” is also 8 oz, but it has way more sugar (4x), which is very bad for cancer, has less protein, almost no fat, and NO MCT OIL.
I use:
1 heaping scoop (33 grams) “Vega” chocolate protein powder with greens
1/4 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup (50 grams) MCT oil
1/2 cup water (or more, to taste)
Mix using immersion blender or “Magic Bullet Blender”, etc.
The macro ratios are:
84.5% calories from fat
59% of total calories are from MCT oil
12.5% of calories are from protein (22 grams)
02.8% calories from carbs (5 grams carb)
Note that these are the same ratios given in the above papers.
Scale the quantities proportionally upwards if the patient requires more daily calories. For example, if the patient requires 1400 calories, just double everything. (duh).
One note of caution: Do not drink this all at once, but take it over the course of the day.
MCT oil can cause gastro-intestinal distress and diarrhea.
Note also that this does no good if the patient is eating a high carb diet. The patient must be in ketosis to have an effect on the tumor. The above paper states the subjects were in mild ketosis, with a ketone reading of 1.2. After seven days on this diet, a PET scan showed a 21.8% reduction in tumor glucose uptake, and they gained 4.4 pounds.
I have had Shirley on a very low carb diet since last April, less than 20 grams per day. She has been in ketosis the whole time. Her usual ketone reading varies from 2.1 to 2.8 as shown on our “Keto-Mojo” meter. Her glucose reading is usually 95 or so.
I’m afraid the research staff will probably reject this, but I think they need to see it. Compare Shirley’s second PET scan with her first one.”
When I read that I was thinking:
“I put my money in the machine but the Clark Bar wouldn’t come OUT!!!”
Thank you for the information; I may need it myself. I had a mastectomy in 2014, and I understand that the common belief now is that cancer never goes away. Sometimes it stays dormant forever after, and sometimes it rears its ugly head.
Sometimes I try to drill down on why it hit me when absolutely nobody in my family has, or has had it. “Stress” seems to be the word that rises to the top — every time.
“One of the primary signs of feelings of sexual innadiquacy in men is hostility towards beautiful women.”
That’s just what man-hating lesbian feminists say.
Shirley has been very overweight the last thirty years. Fat cells make estrogen, which stimulates the type of cancer she has.
Her PET scan also showed a fatty liver, so she was on her way towards diabetes.
Since her diagnosis in April, her weight has dropped from about 205’ish to 167, and has stabilized. I was afraid she was going into cachexia there for a while.
The MCT shake should preclude that, if I can get her to drink it. She wouldn’t drink the one I just mixed until I added another 1/4 cup of coconut cream and a tablespoon of unsweetened peanut butter. So that just doubled the carbs now, to ten. I don’t get it. The cancer is trying to kill her and she insists that everything tastes perfect.
And she’s asking for chips and cheese for dinner. That’s torilla chips with shredded cheese, nuked in the microwave
She said yesterday “I can’t have this, I can’t have that, I have no life, this is the only enjoyment I get. I’m done, I just want to give up.”
She’s watching cooking shows on youtube at the moment. That doesn’t help.
Oops, just checked on her and now it’s Joyce Meyer. :)
I guess you’re right. I thought she was in Saturday Night Fever. Probably because Travolta was also in it.
I tend to think "POS"...
