[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had absolutely no idea she was even sick.  Did anyone else?  How very sad.[/quote]

[b]Good for them[/b].  It’s refreshing to see a celebrity keep something quiet.  And shows that it can be done, if your mother/publicist isn’t calling the entertainment press to let them know.[/quote]

Dp why do you say this?  When Michael J, Fox revealed his Parkinson's disease it helps everyone.  It brings awareness to it and helps raise money for a cure.  Cancer isn't something to be ashamed of, pp![/quote]

A person's medical record is also very private.  Some people do not wish to disclose it to others.  You need to respect the patient's wishes.

My dad died from terminal cancer and he was VERY private outside of our immediate family.  He did not even want our extended family to know for a long time.

He said to me that once people know you have cancer that is all the see.  He did not want to be treated differently or people to act differently around him.

It's not everyone's job to raise awareness.[/quote]

My mother did the same thing with her diagnosis and sheese after she died and some people learned about it (no one particularly close) they were mad that they weren’t informed.  I fielded a few exasperated phone calls from these people who felt they were entitled to my mother’s medical status.  [/quote]
