Good for them. 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.
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!
Do you really think people aren’t aware of breast cancer?

Maybe she was doing drugs and drinking all during her first son's pregnancy and then the disabled kid she had with Travolta. She just had a baby and sent him off to Hawaii to be raised by her parents? Doing hard drugs into late 40's? The public impression of this woman is clearly very different than the reality.
Anyone who is a scientology believer probably has a lot of demons that led them to join a cult.
evangelical = cult
catholic = cult
mormon = cult
christian scientist = cult
JW = cult
muslim = cult
orthodox = cult
heck, all the religions and the zealotry sounding them equal cult like behavior. there is no need to single out a dead woman's religion.

Fair thought. I also wondered that about Elizabeth Edwards (former VP candidate’s wife) when she got virulent breast cancer following two pregnancies in her late 40s/early 50s.
Some studies should really be done on this to see if there's a link.

PS - BC can kill you. Lots of women undergo treatment, are in remission, then it comes back at stage 4 and kills you. Even with the best treatment, a two year battle followed by death is fairly typical.
It is NOT typical. Stop scaremongering, and look at the actual survival rates of the various stages of BC. If you have stage I and it's treated, it doesn't magically "come back" and kill you.
Jesus, the ignorance on this thread.
new pp but yes, it can come back. my mother had it three separate times with 6 years between 1st and 2nd instance and then 3 years between 2nd and 3rd. she never drank and she never smoked and she definitely never took a drug or had IVF. Now she is dying of cancer elsewhere in her body after about 15 years of the "all clear" after her 3rd BC. She may be an unusual case but not completely unheard of.
So sadly, you don't know what you are talking about (to quote a greatly over used DCUM phrase).

I"m so sorry about that. Tragic.
My mother was diagnosed at barely stage 2, got excellent treatment and was given the all clear. Then 3 years later, she was diagnosed stage 4 and died within 2 years.
I know several women with similar stories.
