Off hand, it looks like Patsy probably takes periodic chemo maintenance treatments and the NE saw an oportunity to blow it up into a big gloom and doom story.
I guess we'll have to wait for an official comment, probably from Limp Wood.
Jayelles said:This is really tragic. Very sad. Still, I suppose Patsy has had 10 years since her first diagnosis and they didn't think she would have that. She has lived to see her grandchildren.
She has an amazing strength.

May she linger.
Shylock said:Pleeeeezzz BrotherMoon! The last thing we need to hear is Patsy spewing more of her faux-Christianity.
Nehemiah said:BrotherMoon, none of us knows if Patsy had a role in her daughter's death; we can only make assumptions based upon our views of the evidence, non-evidence, and our personal experiences which color our views. Like Jayelles, I prefer to give most the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. IMO
little1 said:I am sorry--my step-father died from cancer in less than a year. It was a horrible experience, an emotional rollacoaster. I feel sorry for anyone experiencing this disease. Whether they be in prison, a school teacher or someone who has been accused of killing her daughter. It is a horrible disease, I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through that pain and knowing you are going to die just makes it worse. It's also awful on the fmaily, watching their loved one suffer, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
What is it you'd like her to do? Throw-up in the town square?why_nutt said:I think there would be overwhelming sympathy for Patsy if she had ever actually been shown to suffer. But the historical record, even up to last week, shows that Patsy herself will never willingly admit she suffers and is in pain. All we have heard of her cancer experiences from friends, family and acquaintances is that, while she is on her sickbed or recovering from chemotherapy, she buys flowers for others, travels across the country and dances in her driveway while her husband (who is supposed to stay by her side not only in health but in sickness) spends most of his time on his own priorities of running a business which did not vitally need him at the time and pursuing a political office for which he is not uniquely qualified.
Personally, I find it difficult to feel pity for a woman who turns her back on the most qualified people to treat her (the doctors of NIH) in favor of taking treatments in a town whose inhabitants are more noted for their meringue pies than their oncology expertise.
My thoughts exactly.Barbara said:WOULDN'T ONE THINK THAT IF HIS WIFE WAS TRULY DYING OF CANCER AND AFTER 7 YEARS OF BEING UNEMPLOYED, HE WOULD HOLD OFF ON DOING THIS SO THAT HE CAN SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE CARING FOR HER AND THEIR ONLY SON? :banghead:
It makes me question the truth of the information. IMO Patsy will do whatever it takes to survive and if she claims to be sacrificing the best treatment in order to play political wannabe wife, it sounds like BS.why_nutt said:Personally, I find it difficult to feel pity for a woman who turns her back on the most qualified people to treat her (the doctors of NIH)...
I completely agree.BrotherMoon said:Discerning Good from Evil requires knowledge of Evil. Knowledge requires experience.
My thoughts exactly, Tipper. Although I don't see Patsy ever "throwing in the towel" unless it has some performance value and she gets some type of kudos for it.tipper said:Going on the assumption the NE hasn't blown up a routine treatment into a headline I think her being treated in CHX might suggest she has to some degree thrown in the towel or that the treatment is so routine that any doctor/technician can handle it. It's not like a diagnosis needs to be made.
