I remember that episode and thinking: “Forgot your lungs, eh sweetheart?”. Nip/Tuck was one Hell of a show.
AJ: Tough, tough call. If it was me, I’d get checked every 2-3 months and see what happens. OTOH, you have a real (or perceived) ticking time bomb inside of you, driving you insane. If you can get it taken care of, you do.
OTOOH, most of us males, should we live long enough, will have some degree of prostate cancer to deal with.
Having had one parent die of cancer (father was a chain smoker), I’ll have to applaud her. Did she jump the gun? IMO, there must have been SOMETHING that made her do this now.
She made her decision, if it allows her to have quality years with her family, good for her and them. Who cares about her career; she’s got fame and more wealth than she probably could ever spend.
Its got be playing hell with her mind. I feel bad for her.
Either way, it’s a tough decision to make.
Good synopsis, brother.
I was all set to say she was completely off her gourd until I saw the “87%” figure. If it’s actually that high, for breasts a very nice but replaceable body part, you could even argue it’s easy call as opposed to worrying all the time.
Her career will be fine, as far as anyone knew she could have had fake bongos already.
Now if she gets her ovaries, which have hormonal uses even if she doesn’t plan to have more kids, scooped out because of the “50% risk” figure then that’s another matter.
My uncle has cancer, it started in the colon or stomach, not looking too great.
