RALEIGH, N.C. Former televangelist Tammy Faye Messner says cancer has returned to her lungs, marking her third battle with the illness.
Messner was first diagnosed with colon cancer nearly a decade ago. Last year she announced that the disease had spread to her lungs, where it has since reappeared.
Messner says she's "not worried ... not afraid," adding: "By the third time you have cancer, you begin to think about your mortality."
Despite her ailment, Messner is planning to continue traveling the country to give inspirational talks.
The former Tammy Faye Bakker divorced Jim Bakker in 1992 while he was serving a sentence for financial fraud.

Can't people keep their ailments to themselves? Why do they always feel the need to inform us?

Probably not the thread for it, but I got to thinking of those Robert Tilton "Farting Preacher" videos and started laughing.

That is a priceless video. I really should play it for the humorless and deeply religious in-laws. ;)

Speaking of tough: Anyone see what Bernard Goldberg just went through on Donny Deutsch's show on CNBC? The deck was stacked against him. Anyone see it? Goldberg was promoting his new book.

Is that like speaking in bungs?

I wish her luck. My aunt called today and she has to have both her breasts removed with cancer. Cancer is not funny, unless a person uses humor as a coping mechanism.

Poor Tammy...she's all locked into the conventional medical field...their chemo radiation is poison and just doesn't work...what a rip...wish she'd look else where...there are alternates that actually cures...with NO re-occurance...
