Hasn't she been ill before? I'm sure there's been some rumours about her health over the years...

Penny Marshall had admitted, in her new autobiography, that she was battling lung and brain cancer in 2009, but they've both gone "into remission".

Gripping latest installment from The National Enquirer - who seem to have developed a bit of a fixation with Penny Marshall. :wacko:

 

Published on: October 20, 2011

by PATRICIA SHIPP & LYNN ALLISON, THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER

 

PENNY MARSHALL’s cancer has returned – and spread to her lungs, sources say.

 

Sadly, doctors have given the 68-year-old “Laverne & Shirley” star just months to live, according to insiders.

 

The tragic news comes as Pen­ny’s agent announced her plans to address the winning battle she fought with the deadly dis­ease in 2009 in an upcoming memoir.

 

It’s an abrupt about-face for the comic actress and acclaimed director, whose reps have re­peatedly denied ENQUIRER reports that she’d undergone cancer treatment after being diagnosed with a malignant tumor found in her liver.

 

“Penny is finally confirm­ing her battle with cancer only because she wants her fans to read about it in her own words,” a close source told The ENQUIRER.

 

“What her agent didn’t say is that Penny’s can­cer has returned. Doctors are telling her that it’s Stage 4 and has spread to her lungs – and she may not have more than six months to live.

 

“Now she’s furiously trying to finish her book, which is due to be published next fall.”

 

Publishing sources believe Penny’s final chapter could detail her latest setback and re­newed battle right up to when she hands in the manuscript.

 

“Penny is getting chemother­apy treatments at a Los Angeles hospital every other week, and she’s on several medications,” the source revealed.

 

“A specialist in New York also consults with her physicians in California. The doc­tors wanted to put her on stronger medi­cations, but Penny refused, calling the meds ‘gnarly.’

Popular deadpool pick Penny Marshall, who is supposed to be terminally ill, appeared on the Rosie Show in America this week. There are some videos of her appearance at the end of the blurb. She didn't reveal anything about her health, so you can only go by her demeanor and appearance.....draw your own conclusions.

:scratchhead:

She looks a little how my wife's mum looked the year before she died of breast cancer. Not quite sure she's a goner this year although if she gives up hope....

I read somewhere that she is continuing to smoke regardless of the lung cancer because she has accepted she is on the way out. That can't be good.

Indeed. She is also determined to finish writing her memoir before kicking the bucket, and according to the article she's "working furiously to finish [it]"- which, to me, indicates that she is expecting to 'expire' soon and wants to get it done in a hurry.

She's perfectly healthy and has responded on The Talk a really awful show on CBS which should be dead itself and would be if it wasn't owned by a bunch of people making tons of money off the advertising revenues.

Last October, the National Enquirer gave Penny Marshall six months to live. Thirteen months later, nothing has changed:

 

Published on: November 7, 2012

by National Enquirer staff

 

AFTER being told her cancer had returned with a vengeance, a devastated PENNY MARSHALL has given up on following doctors’ orders, say sources.

 

“Unless someone convinces her to keep fighting, Penny will not make it much longer,” revealed a family insider. “Doctors are giving her only six months to live without treatment.”

 

The 69-year-old comedy star and director had gone into remission from lung and brain cancer, but the source says she recently received the heartbreaking news that physicians found a large mass on her brain.

 

“Penny vows she will not go through what she did before,” confided the insider.

 

“There is pressure on her brain, and it’s starting to make her slur her words. It’s also affecting her reasoning, so surgeons need to operate as soon as possible.

 

“But Penny said she’ll never go through surgery, radiation and chemotherapy again.

 

“She’s also refusing to use oxygen, even though her lung capacity is only 40 percent and causing her to constantly struggle for breath.

 

“In addition to the brain mass, she is suffering from renal failure and her other organs are starting to show signs of shutting down.”

 

To make matters even worse, the defiant “Laverne & Shirley” star is smoking more than ever.

 

Sadly, friends fear she’s given up her three-year battle against the dreaded disease.

 

Said the insider: “Now, I think Penny is just trying to get her affairs in order.”

Well, her book is out and she's easily over 100 pounds overweight, how long do you think she's going to hang on?

Penny Marshall has said a number of times that she is fed up of hearing she's on death's door and complains she can't get any work because everyone think's she's going to snuff it - although the bulk of the interview is about her Mum, the relevant information is near the end - cancer free according to her - http://www.alzinfo.org/03/articles/penny-thoughts

Maybe she can't remember that she still has cancer.

 

Then again, it's me who is grasping at straws because 3 quarters of my teams are far too well for my own sad requirements...

What is happening here?

 

I am sure a couple of years ago Penny was being touted as a definite hit in the coming year and made the DDP Drop Forty but things have gone very quiet.

 

Good news or bad?

Some people get a long remission period. It's a toss up. You think they are fine, leave them off your team for the following year and like I had with Seve, they die within months.

She did manage to turn up for Robin Williams' memorial service at the weekend.

 

No pictures though.
