Sorry, folks, I had a temporary heart attack. I'm recovered.

found that they removed the cancerous nodules and no more cancer is there. I hope she rests over the holidays.

And her new movie is out too.

went to the emergency room and after running tests they found out he had prostate cancer. The injury may have saved his life.

Glad they are certain they got all of the cancer, but this won't be easy for her. Lobectomy immediately after broken ribs makes a very high pneumonia risk.

That isn't a minor surgery and she's 85.
