I'm sorry to seem insensitive. Fortunately, I've had no experience with any family member having cancer. My condolences to those who do. Perhaps I keep my world too small.

Don't worry about it. It doesn't require a personal brush with cancer to have compassion for those who have. Those who are touched by diseases are scared and turn to where they naturally feel safe.

I know who that con man is, but WHAT is *that* all about?!?

Do I really want to know?

Tilton is a stain on Christianity, Peter Popoff without the phony spring water.

She is definetly a Steel Magnolia.

Correction: Steel MASCARA.

Did you have a re-section? Did the docs find any movement of the cancer from your colon? Many times with colon cancer, if they find it's contained to the colon only that small portion of the colon is removed. Chemo is then used just in case.

My Mom had colon cancer, they removed that section of her colon...ask her if she'd like some chemo...she turned it down.

There are plenty of alternate cures...do your research, you'd be very surprised.

There is a herbal formula from China...tested by National Cancer Society 85-90% cure rate. Plus lots of other alternates.

I posted a vanity a few years back when my Father died suddenly of a heart attack. It ripped my guts out, but posting it on FR and reading the heartwarming replies I got was very therapeutic, and really helped me get through a very tough time in my life.

Yes....it is THAT funny.

Poor woman. I'm sorry to hear this.

"There are plenty of alternate cures...do your research, you'd be very surprise"

Having an advanced degree in physiology (MS in Physiology, University of Texas, Ph.D., Lund Institute, Sweden) and worked the healthcare field for 25 years I think my knowledge of medicine, physiology and pharmacology exceed your internet knowledge of disease processes and modalities of treatment.

Please keep your dangerous "theories" off the board and leave the practice of medicine to the professionals.

If she can inspire others with cancer, then why not? You are awfully hard on someone who has been in the public eye for many years. I saw her on TV last night. I do not know if I could handle cancer a third time the way she has. Give her a break.

[MamaB]

You should have.

[hydrotech1]

Just curious. How old is Tammy now?

[MamaB]

I do not know what I would have done last year when our daughter died. The people on FR were great. I still read their messages of hope and their prayers. Y'all did good!

[MamaB]

She was born in 1942 according to an internet site.

[Darnright]

That really stinks!

Damn, I didn't know that chemo and radiation therapy didn't work. I'll have to tell my doctor he screwed up 5 years ago when I HAD colon cancer.

I just love people who think they know everything, don't you?! Let's see them refuse any kind of treatment when they are faced with cancer.

WOW...one word...ASSUMPTIONS

OBTW, does a clinical nutritionist count?

Premarin and/or Prempro HRT

Bio-Identical HRT (NHRT)
