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.

Sal got invited by Brazzers to do some sort of hosting gig at an "Adult party" where people will be having sex in public around a pool. I'm trying to use his words as much as possible, because he never outright said it was a porno shoot or an orgy or whatever, but that's what it sounded like.

He told his wife he'd be going to Vegas for the weekend to work an "adult event" and she insisted on going, so now she's joining him without knowing the details of what the event actually is and his goal is now to get her face on camera with the people loving around the pool. He said they'd be livestreaming the event so it was more just a gimmick to get people to subscribe. Everyone told him he was nuts and he said if he's stuck with his wife for the rest of his life why not spice things up, pranks are fun etc.

No way. The video of her flying to Peru and taking some crazy hallucinogenic while a "priest" who hasn't showered since 1992 rubbed Mike And Ike boxes on her was way more crazy.

I still don't understand how any human being can be so supernaturally good-natured. Especially since he spent time in an internment camp as a kid. George is a revelation. (And it was Richard Christy who pitched the idea of bringing him in as show announcer. Which makes sense, because Richard is another super-sweet, almost guileless person.)

I know George gets a lot of poo poo on facebook for being a meme machine, but the dude is just loverly and I think he gets a pass from me because of that. I want him to be my gay grandpa.

From Dawg's Saloon:

quote:

Surgery is scheduled but she didnt say when or if she will miss any shows or how many.
Very very vague. Barely even addressed the subject.

I got a bad feeling about this.

quote:

And she made a cryptic comment about the surgery. She said, "I still say it's barbaric."

But that's all the info I've seen. No details on when the surgery is or what it is.

Other people have said that the usual treatment for bladder cancer is to remove the bladder -- if that's what is happening, I could see her calling it "barbaric".

"They remove my whole bladder?! You can't just cut out the bad part?! Or fix it?! Shame on you!"

Well, the way we deal with cancer is kind of barbaric. Cutting and removing poo poo at random is pretty stupid and I wish we would get back to working on some better ways to handle it. Cancer has taken way too many people already.

Not that rubbing ike and mikes all over yourself is better however.

The whole thing is hosed and even the people we are supposed to trust don't know what the hell is going on.

When I found out I had skin cancer (melanoma) it was scary but made 100 times worse for two reasons: it was on my lower eyelid and I would most likely need facial reconstruction surgery (I did end up needing that) and because the person from my dermatologist's office read the report wrong and told me it stage 3 cancer which was "not good." I made an appointment with an oncologist immediately but didn't think to ask "uh, what is stage 3 skin cancer?"

By the time Monday rolled around, (found out on a Friday) I had been crying for three straight days. When I called back the oncologist they calmed me right down: there was no way the dermatologist could know it was stage 3 because that requires the lymph nodes be checked and the dermatologist didn't do that. I had a stage one case as it turned out - but a level three bump which has nothing to do with how severe the cancer was.

If there is one huge upshot it is that I was so obsessed with not dying of cancer that the reality of having a huge scar on my face didn't really hit me until after the surgery.

Heh - thanks. That is what I keep telling myself! A plastic surgeon did that part and people keep telling me you can't even see it, but you can. And I know it is there so I am my own worst enemy.

I shouldn't really complain though - this is nothing compared to what Robin is going through. :(

Octomom was atrocious today, but I gotta say, that Warren Littlefield guy was a pretty interesting interview. Dude was around when the biggest shows of all time were being developed and put on air, and he was pretty open with his stories. It probably helped that I watched a bunch of those shows back in the day.

Littlefield's book is a nice read: it's an oral history, not a memoir, so you get the perspective of the actors/writers/producers. Well worth a read if you're a Seinfeld/Friends/ER fan.

I couldn't handle Littlefield's dentures shifting on mic, though. :::brrrr:::

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
It's very difficult to discern the treatment Robin will get because she's said so little and even then it'd be hard to make more of a guess. Treatments can range from:

- cauterizing the tumor, doesn't affect anything
- removing part of the bladder, peeing done as you've always done it
- removing the bladder(segmental cystectomy)
- removing the bladder and other surrounding organs and lymph nodes(radical cystectomy). for women this includes the removal of the cervix, urethra, fallopian tubes and part of the vagina.

For the cystectomy surgeries there are a few options after for fixing urination. They can either make an ileal conduit, which connects to your ureters(which take urine from the kidney to the bladder) and you get the bag option or they can take some of your bowel to make a little pocket and connect the ureters to that and that becomes a new waypoint for your urine which will basically be like your bladder in a sense. They then have 2 options after making that reservoir pocket depending on whether or not your urethra was removed. If it was not removed they simply connect the little pocket to your urethra and off you go with your new bladder(neobladder). If your urethra was removed then you'll connect a catheter to an incision and pass the urine that way(urostomy).

But as you can see, any of those options might be considered "barbaric" by Robin so it's hard to speculate on just what is going on. I haven't dug anymore but it seems like the radical cystectomy is for more severe and aggressive(or recurring) cancer so I'm not sure she's lined up for that and she may not even be having the whole thing removed, rather just a part of it.

I thought it was kind of amusing that during a montage on AGT Monday night, they tried to depict the mass appeal of Howard's radio show by showing a bunch of "common folk" listening to him on their radios--like, boomboxes and poo poo. It was portrayed as if he were still on terrestrial.

Insignificant, I guess. Just found it funny.

I noticed this as well. That guy with the boombox really got to me.

Couldn't see any whack packers, unfortunately. Thought I might be able to catch a glimpse of Jeff the Drunk (as Howard said he was sitting right next to him), but, alas, I didn't. I'll be looking tonight, though.
