Jill Biden's skin cancer; Bob Casey's prostate cancer; AL broadcaster Eli Gold, Utah lawmaker Karen Mayne both diagnosed with cancer; White Sox's Liam Hendriks' non-Hodgkins lymphoma

New US NON-fatals include Tori Spelling's THREE children hospitalized, Sharon Osbourne's hospitalization ("a mystery"), Wynonna Judd's vertigo, & (maybe) the vanishing of Kelly Clarkson, Julian Sands

Also: Irish musician Allen Gogarty’s cardiac arrest; wrestler Billy Graham’s “very serious health issues”; 16-year-old hoopster Keyonna Garrison’s stroke; and the new cancer afflicting Raquel Coronell Uribe, the Harvard Crimson’s first Hispanic president.

And then there’s the notably fear-mongering coverage of Jamie Lee Curtis, Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and soap star Nancy Lee Grahn all “testing positive for COVID,” which is obviously meant to “prove” not that “vaccination” is a bad idea, but—on the contrary—that it and all the other “COVID measures” are now more urgent than they’ve ever been (despite the fact that none of them has ever worked, or done more good than harm).

After a trip to the hospital, Jill Biden had two malignant tumors removed and is now "doing good."

January 13, 2023

( CNN ) - Dr. Jill Biden, the Vice President's wife, spent several hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday for an outpatient treatment that ended up revealing a second area of concern for skin cancer.

A lesion above her right eye was identified at a recent skin cancer screening, and White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a note that Biden underwent Mohs surgery to remove and analyze the lesion. O'Connor said in his letter that surgery showed the little lesion was basal cell cancer.

The margins around the incision were free of malignant cells, hence the procedure was a complete success. A pre-op assessment revealed "an extra region of concern found on the left side of the first lady's breast," as O'Connor put it.

The first lady, who was joined by Vice President Joe Biden [sic!] during much of the day, remained at Walter Reed for longer than a White House official had suggested to CNN since Mohs surgery was also performed at this location on Wednesday. O'Connor also noted that the chest tumor, which was "successfully excised," tested positive for basal cell carcinoma.

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey reveals cancer diagnosis

January 5, 2023

Sen. Bob Casey Jr. speaks at a rally with President Joe Biden in Pennsylvania on August 30, 2022.

Third-term Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), who is up for reelection in 2024, announced Thursday that has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which he said came as “a shock.”

Casey, who was in Washington Tuesday to welcome newly elected Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) to the Capitol, said he expects to undergo surgery soon.

“Last month, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. While this news came as a shock, I can report that I have an excellent prognosis, as well as the benefit of exceptional medical care and the unwavering support of my family,” Casey, who is 62 years old, said in a statement.

Hendriks to begin treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

January 8, 2023

CHICAGO -- White Sox closer Liam Hendriks announced that he is beginning treatment on Monday for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Hendriks issued a statement via his personal Instagram account on Sunday:

“As a professional athlete, I have always been mindful to try and use my position in the public eye to the most positive ends possible by shining a light on causes or issues that touch close to home for myself, my wife, and my family. It is in that spirit that I want to share some personal health news I have learned in the past few days and do so on my own terms.

“Recently I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hearing the word 'Cancer' came as a shock to my wife and I, as it does to millions of families each year. However, I am resolved to embrace the fight and overcome this new challenge with the same determination I have used when facing other obstacles in my life.

“My treatment begins tomorrow, and I am confident that I will make a full recovery and be back on the mound as soon as possible. I know with the support of my wife, my family, my teammates, and the Chicago White Sox organization, along with the treatment and care from my doctors, I will get through this.”

Hendriks, who turns 34 on Feb. 10, joined the White Sox via free agency prior to the 2021 season and has been a force in the organization since his arrival, which has less to do with the right-hander being one of the best closers in the game and much more to do with how Liam and his wife, Kristi, began giving back to the people of Chicago and its surrounding areas as soon as they arrived.

Irish music community in New York rallies around Allen Gogarty

January 19, 2023

Allen Gogarty was smacked with ferocity by the unpredictability of life last month.

Gogarty, the 48-year-old native of Kilmainhamwood, Co Meath and resident of New York since 2002, had played a gig the night of Thursday, December 1, one of four or five live appearances he makes each week in the boroughs or the wider tri-state area. 

He arrived home to Glendale, Queens in the early hours of Friday morning, caught a few hours of sleep, and rose around 10-ish with an unusual, shooting back pain. Gogarty had never experienced anything like it.

“The pain continued for a while. At one point I took my shirt off, laid on the floor and started sweating,” he recalled during a weekend interview with the Irish Voice, sister publication to IrishCentral. 

He decided to take a bath, and his wife Amparo called the ambulance. When it arrived Gogarty says he was feeling better, but he was taken for observation regardless. 

“When I was in the ambulance the medics were asking me how I was. I said I was fine and thought I might have over-reacted about the pain,” he recalled. 

He was brought to the ER at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital for some tests which showed he wasn’t fine. Bloodwork revealed a chemical secreted from the heart indicative of a cardiac event, so he was kept overnight and transferred to the cardiology wing the next morning.

At that point, Gogarty was in severe pain and remembers asking for painkillers. Things quickly took a turn for the worse that Saturday morning and he blacked out.

The father of two teenage boys went into cardiac arrest and flatlined. The severity of his heart attack was such that he was transferred to North Shore University Hospital in Nassau County because Forest Hills didn’t have the required equipment to treat his condition. 

He was given CPR and chest compressions, and doctors were able to restart his heart. Then he had an angioplasty, surgery to clear one of two arteries that was 100 percent blocked. Gogarty later had a second angioplasty to treat the other artery which was 90 percent blocked. Stents were also implanted in his arteries to keep them functional.

Wynonna Judd Is "Heartbroken" as She Shares Health Update With Fans

January 4, 2023

Well, this surely isn't how Wynonna Judd expected to start off 2023.

As one half of the mother-daughter duo, The Judds, Wynonna is making sure that her mother's legacy lives on. Prior to her mother’s death in April, 2022, the country music duo was scheduled for their final tour and even while grieving, Wynonna pledged to continue with performing for adoring fans.

Unfortunately, the "Love Can Build A Bridge" singer has run into a major obstacle and shared a health update with fans on Instagram before a scheduled show in Nashville.

In the caption, Wynonna explained that she's dealing with "an extreme bout of vertigo" which hindered her from hitting the stage with Kelsea Ballerini. She continued by writing, "Nashville, I am absolutely heartbroken and so sorry to have let you all down tonight. Kelsea, I look forward to stepping onstage with you in February, better than ever!!!!"

Kelly Clarkson Was Missing From This Week's 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'

January 9, 2023

Fans catching The Kelly Clarkson Show can expect these things from episode to episode: a fun guest, Kelly's bubbly personality and, of course, host Kelly Clarkson. So those expecting the American Idol winner and media personality to give a great show throughout the week of Jan. 9 were a little taken aback when she was nowhere to be found.

On Jan. 8, the official Instagram account for The Kelly Clarkson Show posted a photo of "guest hosts" Howie Mandel, Terry Crews and Jackie Shultz standing beside a cardboard cutout of Kelly.

Mandel, an America’s Got Talent judge, first stepped up on Monday, true to the photo posted to social media, along with daughter Jackie and Crews. There was also a full slate of guests listed on the post for the next day, including Niecy Nash, Ernie Hudson, Melia Kreiling and Jessica Betts. Friday's guest even included Nick Jonas, with the star-studded week truly offering a little something for everyone.

But to that end, guests still wanted to know where Kelly is. Unfortunately, despite leaving a load of comments inquiring as to the star's whereabouts, no one has been able to decipher where the American Idol star has gone. Of course, the truth is hardly sinister. It's likely that, in all actuality, Kelly could be feeling under the weather. Or she may have had prior commitments that took her away from her show this week [as happens all the time—MCM].

Actor Julian Sands missing for days after going for a hike on California mountain

January 19, 2023

LOS ANGELES — Actor Julian Sands has been missing for five days since he went hiking on Southern California's Mt. Baldy, officials said Wednesday.

Sands, 65, was reported missing in the Baldy Bowl area around 7:30 p.m. Friday, said Mara Rodriguez, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities said in an update Thursday that phone pings on Sunday showed Sands was headed to the Mt. Baldy area. Rescuers searched a trail leading to the summit of Mt. Baldy after a delayed ping from his iPhone provided a possible location for him.

Ground and air searches were conducted but rescuers "were unable to locate any evidence in this area that would assist in locating Mr. Sands," the department said.

Additional phone pings from the cell provider were attempted but proved unsuccessful because of the lack of cell service in the area or Sands' phone not having any power.

The search for Sands, known in part for his role in "A Room with a View," was paused Saturday evening because of trail conditions and the risk of avalanche, Rodriguez said.

Graham has been dealing with various health issues for decades, but the most recent update from his administrator on his Facebook page appears to be very serious:

Lots of issues… MRI showed he has a very bad infection in his ears that has spread to the bones in his ears as well as an area of his skull…infectious disease doctor was just in trying to decide what antibiotics they’re going to start him on.

We need your prayers”

Harvard Crimson's first Hispanic president battled cancer as a teen. It's back, she writes.

January 11, 2023

Raquel Coronell Uribe had just celebrated a five-year remission milestone in December. While she had no reason to believe her illness would come back, she felt she was "living on borrowed time." During the fall 2022 semester, she recalled, she felt uneasy, struggled to attend classes and complete her coursework, get enough sleep and eat, and she had a sharp pain in her shoulder. Coronell Uribe recently finished her history-making term as the first Hispanic president of The Harvard Crimson, the country's oldest college newspaper. “I’m really honored to be the first Latinx president, but we have to make sure that doesn’t mean that I’m the last,” Coronell Uribe said in a November 2021 interview. “I really want to make sure that this door remains open for other people.”

Note the passing revelation that, just this year, “multiple” students have been saved from heart attacks or cardiac arrest in “Michigan schools” (which could mean elementary schools as well as high schools):

Cheer coach uses CPR, AED to save student-athlete who went into sudden cardiac arrest

January 11, 2023

MEMPHIS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A cheer coach at a Michigan high school said she was in the right place at the right time when a student-athlete went into cardiac arrest last month.

The student was at practice at Memphis High School when it happened. Amanda Bobcean, who is also an emergency room nurse and mother, jumped into action with CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) to revive the student 15 minutes before EMS arrived.

Jennifer Shea, the Beaumont Student Heart Check Manager for Corewell Health East, said numerous people have been rescued in schools this year.

"We already have had multiple saves this year in schools," Shea said.

Note how the following reports of movie and TV stars “testing positive for COVID,” though, in reality, they merely reconfirm the ineffectiveness (at best) of “vaccination,” work as propaganda for the jab, as well as masking and the other “COVID measures” that, from the start, have done more harm than good.

While TV star Nancy Lee Grahn is clearly ill, and therefore more than likely “vaccine”-injured, it seems that Jamie Lee Curtis, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are (so far, and ostensibly) quite healthy, their “sickness” evidenced by nothing but their “COVID” test results. That the articles about their “illness” hammer on the urgency of getting tested, “sheltering in place” and (above all) masking tells us that this “news” is only meant to scare us back into compliance.

‘General Hospital’ Star Nancy Lee Grahn Tests Positive for COVID-19

January 7, 2023

Nancy Lee Grahn (“General Hospital”) has been tested positive for Covid, the actress announced in an Instagram post on Friday, January 6.

While sharing a picture of herself lying up in bed, Grahn captioned her post, saying, “Why anyone would willingly and cavalierly put themselves into a position to catch or spread Covid is so unquestionably stupid regarding their own health and thoughtless regarding others. 96% of planes have passengers with Covid. 

“Very few ppl are masked anywhere now. Americans have made it clear they don’t want to be inconvenienced by them. Ok, but unfortunately it’s not over yet. Thankfully science has found ways to mitigate a lot of dangers but still to not do ur part in preventing the spread of it is callous. No one knows how Covid is going to land on you. In any case, it ain’t fun and you don’t want it. At the very least keep ur masks on in public places. BTW, I’ll be fine… just thought a visual of what Covid looks like in a relatively good scenario would be motivating ( scare you) into putting ur masks back on.”

Jamie Lee Curtis Falls Ill in Wake of Golden Globes

January 14, 2023

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has reportedly gotten sick since attending the Golden Globe Awards this week, meaning she will not be at the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday. Curtis revealed on Instagram that she has tested positive for COVID-19. She wished her colleagues and co-stars the best as their movie Everything Everywhere All at Once continues its streak this award season.

"F— COVID!" Curtis wrote bluntly alongside a photo of three at-home COVID tests, all showing a positive result. She did not mention her condition or whether she is asymptomatic. She continued: "Sadly, this head cheerleader is not going to be at all the weekend festivities cheering on her friends and colleagues. Life on Life’s terms. I'm glad that there are all these home tests available so that I didn't go to the [American Film Institute] lunch and spread my germs."

Colin Farrell and Brendon Gleeson Are Both Sick Following Golden Globes

January 15, 2023

Two more stars are sick after attending the 2022 Golden Globe Awards, meaning they will miss upcoming award shows where they are nominees. On Sunday, a representative for Colin Farrell told The Hollywood Reporter that both Farrell and Brendan Gleeson have tested positive for COVID-19. The duo won't be able to attend the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday night.

Farrell and Gleeson co-starred in The Banshees of Inisherin, one of the biggest critical darlings 2022. The pair attended the Golden Globes on Tuesday where Farrell won the award for best actor in a comedy or musical. The award show was reportedly held at full capacity, and the telecast showed few of the attending stars wearing face masks. Sadly, the novel coronavirus may have been present in the room, since Farrell and Gleeson aren't the first attendees to test positive.
