He standard treatment for bladder cancer is to remove the bladder. Bladder cancer spreads rapidly and can produce lots of tumors throughout the body. She'll have to wear a colostomy bag the rest of her life.

Yeah, that's what I took from her "It's not a death thing, but it's unacceptable" comment. Poor old Robin, that would certainly suck.

No way will Howard allow any song parodies about this air. He would have back when he was making jokes about his wife's miscarriage, but he's completely toothless now. He'll keep recycling the same ones about how "hot" she is.

Yeah, that is kind of a hard thing to do IRL to somebody you care about. Super easy over the internet however.

But still, Howard built his empire being a dick to people about cancer and dead cats and making fun of everything.

Like Artie said on his show recently, "We love black people, we love women, we love gays, we love everyone, but sometimes you just want to make a joke".

I don't know if there have been any no-Robin shows since the '90s, but there were a couple older shows where she wasn't around. Once Bo the Lesbian sat in for the news (Robin got very mad about this). And on another occasion, Lisa Sliwa (wife of the Guardian Angels guy) was the newswoman. She wound up getting in a really intense fight with Bobcat Goldthwait.

If you are of the opinion that substance abuse is a disease, then Artie's disease is just as deadly as Robins.
While Howard may not have directly goofed on Artie's addiction, the rest of the staff and audience sure got to.

The day after Artie relapses and misses work Richard and Sal produce at least a half dozen Artie on Heroin Songs

I dunno, when they made the announcement that day Fred and Howard got in a lot of jokes, but once it turned into some potentially serious issue of course they would back off. Robin has thick skin, but facing death is usually not easy to joke about for awhile. Give them some time to absorb it and I'm sure they will find it is best to joke about stuff and keep living.

So all of these years of Robin using random treatments to make herself better were, IMO, her trying to figure out that something may actually be truly wrong with her body?

I finally got around to listening to the audio book whilst on vacation, and he had some odd diet regimes as well (fruit only for weeks on end, fasting weeks, etc) which weren't too far off from her crazy methods. At the end of the day he had to get an organ transplant but he still died. Let's just hope that Robin is ok. As much as we all like to talk poo poo about her, she is a human being.

Just for what it's worth, her diet(lots of fruits and veggies) is great for combating bladder cancer, not inviting it.

The vegan/vegetarian diet has not shown any connections to an increase in cancer and if it did there'd be a lot less people living those lifestyles. The fact is that it really doesn't matter whether or not you eat meat as long as you properly supplement the rest of your diet with the proper grains, fruits and vegetables and likewise for vegans, it's important to get the minerals and vitamins that are normally found in meats but can be lacking in vegetables. Also in making a guess here, since nobody knows what that green drink is composed of, it's likely harmless at worst and is in no way related to her current illness if, again, it is cancer. It's not to say vegan diets don't cause health issues or are connected to certain diseases if poorly planned out but one would need to make a ton of leaps based on various things like not knowing her actual diet, not knowing what is really wrong with her, etc. and that's just foolish.

The odds are incredibly good that if she does have cancer then as it is for a lot of people, it was simply a bad roll of the dice. It's easy to look at a smoker with lung cancer and reason that they knew what they were getting into but cancer's a brutal disease that often has little rhyme or reason to it and it's a bit much to make these assumptions that Robin's slow spiral into food insanity has caused or contributed to it manifesting itself in her.

I'm not saying that her retarded view on nutrition caused her ailment. I'm just saying that, after all of the candy being rubbed on her etc, it took western medicine diagnosis for her to realize that she needs more than Dr. Ronni for her to live a life.

Yeah, don't be one of those people that says "What a dummy, she tried to live healthy and she got cancer, IRONY RIGHT GUYS?!?!"

No matter what you think of her personality, we shouldn't be mocking her very life, just her opinions on it. That's kind of low class and creepy for anyone hoping to rub this in her face (not that anyone here is, but drat, I can see a lot of obsessive fans doing just that and it makes me kind of sad).

I used to cringe when Howard would go on his rants about wishing cancer on people and death and horrible stuff because of radio ratings or whatever.
