What kind of cancer? When he goes there will be wailing in Hollywood.

Danny glover, Harry belafonte, Sean penn may be placed on suicide watch.

[StoopTroup]

They don't seem to want to tell what kind of Cancer he has. The first accounts say it started in the pelvic region so it must be Cervical Cancer.

[SCOUT]

"Dictator Cancer" is one of the oddest forms of cancer. Often the patient will die and not be reported dead for months.

I ain't had one family member, mom or dads side, die from old age or natural causes. All died of some type of cancer and in their 50's or early 60's. That disease really sucks. Wished we'd be further along in the quest to cure it.

Maybe somebody with a medical background could explain better but the way I have had it explained to me is that cancer isn't a disease per se. It's the result of many diseases. Certain genetic predispostions as well as environmental factors allow them to develop into cancer.

What Is Cancer?

Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death.

Normal cells in the body

The body is made up of trillions of living cells. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person’s life, normal cells divide faster to allow the person to grow. After the person becomes an adult, most cells divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells or to repair injuries.

How cancer starts

Cancer starts when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. Cancer cell growth is different from normal cell growth. Instead of dying, cancer cells continue to grow and form new, abnormal cells. Cancer cells can also invade (grow into) other tissues, something that normal cells cannot do. Growing out of control and invading other tissues are what makes a cell a cancer cell.

Cells become cancer cells because of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) damage. DNA is in every cell and it directs all the cell’s actions. In a normal cell, when DNA gets damaged the cell either repairs the damage or the cell dies. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired, and the cell doesn’t die like it should. Instead, the cell goes on making new cells that the body doesn’t need. These new cells all have the same abnormal DNA as the first cell does.

People can inherit abnormal DNA, but most DNA damage is caused by mistakes that happen while the normal cell is reproducing or by something in the environment. Sometimes the cause of the DNA damage may be something obvious like cigarette smoking or sun exposure. But it’s rare to know exactly what caused any one person’s cancer.

In most cases, the cancer cells form a tumor. Some cancers, like leukemia, rarely form tumors. Instead, these cancer cells involve the blood and blood-forming organs and circulate through other tissues where they grow.

How cancer spreads

Cancer cells often travel to other parts of the body where they begin to grow and form new tumors. This happens when the cancer cells get into the body’s bloodstream or lymph vessels. Over time, the tumors replace normal tissue. The process of cancer spreading is called metastasis.

How cancers differ

No matter where a cancer may spread, it’s always named for the place where it started. For example, breast cancer that has spread to the liver is called metastatic breast cancer, not liver cancer. Likewise, prostate cancer that has spread to the bone is called metastatic prostate cancer, not bone cancer.

Different types of cancer can behave very differently. For instance, lung cancer and skin cancer are very different diseases. They grow at different rates and respond to different treatments. This is why people with cancer need treatment that is aimed at their kind of cancer.

Tumors that are not cancer

Not all tumors are cancer. Tumors that aren’t cancer are called benign. Benign tumors can cause problems – they can grow very large and press on healthy organs and tissues. But they cannot grow into (invade) other tissues. Because they can’t invade, they also can’t spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). These tumors are almost never life threatening.

How common is cancer?

Half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes.

Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. The risk of developing many types of cancer can be reduced by changes in a person’s lifestyle, for example, by staying away from tobacco, limiting time in the sun, being physically active, and healthy eating.

There are also screening tests that can be done for some types of cancers so they can be found as early as possible – while they are small and before they have spread. In general, the earlier a cancer is found and treated, the better the chances are for living for many years.

^ good point


Open your ears and you'll find that complaining is an integral part of most people's daily exchanges. "For example, we use complaints as icebreakers," says Robin Kowalski, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Clemson University. "We start a conversation with a negative observation because we know that will get us a bigger response than saying something positive would."

I may be wrong and I apologize if I am.But is that that a Humorous/ Joke attempt above your Post?
Looks like a sick ****in joke to me.

Maybe I just need to STFU

[StoopTroup]

Maybe you aren't alone as you think about Cancer. I've lost my Mother to it and nearly have lost my Aunt (Moms Sister) to it and Im awaiting the call from my Family telling me their older Sister who just lost her Husband to a Heart Attack after he spent the last 5 years taking care of his Wife through her Cancer.

The list goes pretty long in my Family and we all give to Cancer research and pray for a cure. We have our bad days too in not handling well sometimes. Maybe this is just your Day?

Could be. Hope you work through it if it is.

Not sure if there's much of anything I wouldn't wish on Hugo. He's stolen the property and lives of a lot of people who are close to me. If I wish him dead, then does it matter by what means?

Kinda hypocritical to Say, Pray for a Friend or Loved one who has Cancer while wishing death on some one else with it .

[KantoSooner]

Okay, then I hope he beats the big C.....and then shoots himself in the head. And I hope he does it soon.

And I like to think that if my government was going to assassinate a world leader by giving them a terminal illness, that we would choose to give them AIDS as to emasculate the leader, and have questions about their sexuality, especially in a Latin American country where the machismo runs high.

it was a joke...I doubt the US "poisoned" him...

my take, cancer is bad...feel sorry for any NORMAL person. This dude opened the opportunity for a lot of evil. I honestly don't wish too many bad things on anyone, there is no way I feel sorry for this schmuck.

Oliver Stone paid tribute to Hugo Chavez, calling him 'a great hero'

Stone said Chavez, who died Tuesday, 'will live forever in history'

Chavez was the subject of a Stone documentary 'South of the Border'

Director Oliver Stone paid respect to the "great hero" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the socialist leader who died on Tuesday at age 58.

''I mourn a great hero to the majority of his people and those who struggle throughout the world for a place," Stone said in a statement released Tuesday night. "Hated by the entrenched classes, Hugo Chavez will live forever in history."

"My friend, rest finally in a peace long earned," Stone added.

Stone met Chavez in 2007 and interviewed him, along with other South American leaders, for his 2009 documentary South of the Border.

"As is often the case, the man I met was not the man I'd read and heard about in the U.S. media," Stone wrote in the British newspaper The Guardian. "Based on our experiences in Iraq. Americans must question the role of our media in demonizing foreign leaders as our enemies. The consequences can be brutal.".

Venezuela supplies 100,000 bbls of oil per day to Cuba at around $15/bbl. Or something like an 85% discount to market.

And pays the salaries of some 30,000 Cuban doctors, nurses, soliders and intelligence officers stationed in Venezuela. (Yes, the Venezuelan equivalents to the CIA and FBI are run by Cubans. Nice, huh?)
