Tammy Fayes Cancer Tour 2005

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

[SevenofNine]

OH MAN Poor Tammy Faye so that mean she won't do another Surreal life

[Jenya]

Tough crowd here.

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...

By the third time you have cancer, you begin to think about your mortality.

Seems plausible.

Medical problems are the last refuge of a scoundrel - with medical privacy laws there is no way to verify the validity of such claims. Hence the proliferation of child cancer hoax stories as a way to fleece sympathetic people, etc. And yes, I have had cancer.

[NormB]

you know what, I am disappointed in some of the people in this thread.

I am not the biggest PTL fan, but I certainly do not take pleasure in knowing that anyone has cancer.

yes, she is, was and will always be nasty, but cancer is like the great equalizer. Let's see anyone here go through a personal battle with cancer and not feel, live and be a changed person.

so yuk it up tammy faye has cancer, and someday maybe you or someone you love will also, then it wont matter what your past is you will be as afraid as she is right now.

But she is the enemy, stupid, corrupt, perhaps evil, and yet I can't help but wonder if the commandment to pray for our enemies means anything or if we are just the same as her.

[I still care]

I saw a biography of her awhile ago, and thought this would happen. She had a badly bleeding rectal cancer, and decided to ignore it. She finally went for treatment when she was nearly dying of blood loss.

She then said something to the effect that it was just too embarrassing and upsetting to seek treatment for such things, and that she was not visiting the oncologist regularly, perhaps she was using a natural remedy - I really can't remember. But I DO remember thinking she is a cancer disaster waiting to happen.

Poor woman. I'm sorry to hear this.
