Patrick Swayze Fights Back!

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Patrick Swayze may have pancreatic cancer and has his days numbered, but he’s not taking any crap from the National Enquirer or any of the haters. Oh no! He’s about to throw on his dancing shoes and kick the crapola outta anyone who thinks he’s on his death bed.

Patty told People.com, “It’s amazing to me that the tabloids such as the National Enquirer print such negative stories about me and my health when there are so many positive things going on in my life right now. I’ve started a new chemotherapy and, once again, I am one of the lucky ones with pancreatic cancer that is responding well to the treatment.”

In fact, Patrick has got a new bitch to entertain his ass, “There is a brand new, 12-week-old, Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy named Kumasai in my life who is gorgeous and already showing that he will be one special dog.”

And projects a plenty…

“I am starting work on my new book, in addition to enjoying the fantastic response from everyone on my A&E series The Beast. I hope in the future, the press will think twice about printing inaccuracies and painting an unpleasant picture when I have so much to be thankful for at this time.”

Well, that is fantabulous news. It’s good to know Patrick’s spirit is as strong as ever! Keep rockin’ homeboy!

Jade Goody Going Home To Die

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Jade Goody has been told news that she surely didn’t want to hear. Chemotherapy cannot help the spread of the cancer that she is trying to fight. Therefore, Jade is going home to spend time with her family and friends.

A source said, “Jade is very frightened of dying in hospital and wants to spend what time she has left at home with her boys and family close to her.” And so…home she goes.

A friend said, “Jade is still fighting, but she knows in her heart there’s no chance of getting out of this situation. All doctors can do is try and make her comfortable. It is going to be weeks now. Because she is still a young woman, the cancer cells are growing rapidly. A solicitor came into hospital this week. Jade has drawn up a will leaving her money in a trust fund for the boys.”

The medical treatment will not completely be halted as Jade is planning on having a community nurse come through daily to check up on her to make her as comfortable as possible.

This has got to be so devastating for Jade and her family. At least she is able to spend as much time as she can now with her boys and her man.

Jade Goody’s Glimmer Of Hope

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Wow. What a whirlwind of emotions reality star Jady Goody must be feeling. After a weekend being in and out of the hospital and the news of the nasty c-word spreading throughout more of her body, Jade Goody has got to be feeling some major stress. However amidst all the horrifying news, there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Miss Jade.

Just last night it was revealed that Professor Martin Gore, medical director at the Royal Marsden Hospital, told Jade he wanted to start her on Topotecan, also called Hycamtin, after the recent failing of chemotherapy. According to WebMD, Topetecan is normally given in only in advanced cases of cervical cancer and is seen as the last line of defense. The drug works by blocking an enzyme that can strengthen cancer cells, and a scan will show if the tumors are responding.

Jade’s publicist said, “People in the same situation who have taken this drug have seen encouraging results. The information that was given to her left her thinking there was no way forward. This has given her a glimmer of hope. At the end of the day she is a young woman with two children and she is going to do everything in her power to prolong her life.”

What hell to go through! But at least this drug could help Jade with her fight and keep her on earth with her boys as long as possible. Keep your head up, Jade!

Jade Goody Hospitalized.

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Sad, sad news for you Jade Goody fans out there. This weekend was not a pleasant one for the reality star. Apparently, Jade checked herself into the Royal Marsden Hospital in London…TWICE… citing excruciating pain. Damn.effing.cancer!

Our little cancer fighter collapsed at her home on Friday as a result of her latest bout of chemotherapy. Then after being admitted on Friday and then discharged on Saturday, Miss Jade was forced to check herself back in as she once again fell violently ill. How awful is that?!

Her agent Mark Thomas said today Jade remains in hospital, with her situation remaining unchanged since the weekend.

Her spokesman Max Clifford said: “Jade has been in a lot of pain and she is going through hell. It is a battle for life, but her condition has not worsened and treatment is ongoing.”

I can’t even imagine. Despite what you haters have to say about Miss Jade, you have to admire her for her strength as she fights this long, hard fight with a big ole meanie called cancer. So back off, bitches! And, stay strong, Jade! You can do it!

Patrick Swayze Takes A Turn For The Worse.

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Just days after his interview with Babwa Wah-Wah, Patrick Swayze’s health and fight with cancer has taken a turn for the worse. Patrick was scheduled to appear at a meeting for the Television Critics Association to discuss his upcoming drama “The Beast.” Instead, the Dirty Dancing supastar is in the hospital with a bout of pneumonia.

“Patrick has asked that I tell you that this morning he checked himself into the hospital for observation,” said A&E Vice President Robert DeBitetto. “Chemotherapy can take its toll on the immune system, and illnesses are a part of that. Patrick wishes me to tell you that he’s very sorry he cannot attend, but plans to get back to promoting `The Beast’ soon.”

Dammit. This sucks. All I can think of when I hear this news is how ironic this role of the “Beast” is for Patrick. He’s fighting a wicked beast…this cancer…that has ultimately consumed his life and changed everything about it. I hope he can recover from this bout of pneumonia. Our thoughts and prayers are with Patrick and his family.

Be strong, my friend!
