gcreptile 10,970 Posted August 13, 2018 Sounds like a return of pancreatic cancer? (Confirming that she actually had it, if true) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,390 Posted August 13, 2018 Just now, gcreptile said: Sounds like a return of pancreatic cancer? (Confirming that she actually had it, if true) I'd guess so. She always denied having it, though I'm sure one of her publicists recently mentioned her having fought pancreatic cancer in 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted August 14, 2018 Very sad, but not expected. She's apparently in hospice, but as with Barbara Bush, just because you're in hospice doesn't necessarily indicate a long, drawn out battle. I wonder if she's been in hospice for a while, or just recently. When she passes, it'll easily be the biggest musical passing since Whitney or even Michael. It'll be a sad moment, especially for all of her fans like myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're correct, it doesn't necessarily indicate a long battle. In fact, this last stage looks like it won't last long at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
