Dead Candye Kane

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

American jazz and blues singer, Candye Kane, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Goodbye Candye?

[Canadian Paul 97]

I'd like to comment on a few of these...

 

Candye Kane - she's also an ex-porn star, and a BBW (fat women) porn star at that. Do not include on DeathList because chances of UK obit are, realistically, negligible.

 

True, but this is also a list for people picking teams for their own personal deadpools, and there are always circles where her obit will count.

 

Anyhow, I think I've removed all the dead ones.

Candye Kane - American jazz and blues singer, with either pancreatic cancer or something very similar. Whatever it is, she seems to be getting better.

Candye Kane, is sadly suffering from cancer again. Although widely reported to have had pancreatic cancer, she is actually suffering from neuroendocrine tumours, the same condition that afflicted Steve Jobs and DL favourite Paul Hunter.

"Playing at Yolies in Ventura tonight with special guest JASON RICCI!!! We play from 8-10 pm! We will also be at the Calypso Restaurant in Leucadia on Sunday from 7:30-9:30!! Had an amazing time at Merle Haggard show."

So it doesn't seem to have slowed her down much.

Further news on these turn of events, Candye just posted the following message on her facebook page

 

"just to clarify; I will be having pancreatic cancer surgery on april 27th at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. I WILL NOT BE AT THE BENEFITS IN MY HONOR on april 29 and 30 in burbank at joes bar and grill and at the belly up tavern. People keep writing me and saying that they will see me there. I will only be there in spirit. Thanks to all who are helping me during this insane time in my life. I WILL PREVAIL. ♥"

I think she's UK obit worthy. Her health has been back and forth these past couple of months.

She's survived a lot longer with pancreatic cancer than most would have and to be still gigging.

Her benefit gig is on April 30th

Candye Kane having a few ups and downs

 

Latest posting from her facebook page

having a rough, feeling sorry for myself day. Im surrounded by beautiful people who love me but im so hungry and havent eaten in 8 days. the IV food bag just doesnt cut it. But then I open another two fan letters, sending me $$ and calling me a fierce warrior and a super hero. I received a beautiful forged iron art piece from Roy Nystrom. Everyday, I am humbled by the love of people I dont even know. Ive been crying all day feeling fragile and doubtful. Thank you for your beautiful words of support and strength. Thank you for the love. ♥ I know tomorrow will be a better day.

Wishing her all the best as she continues with her treatment for pancreatic cancer

Same here. At least until December 31st. After that I start praying in the other direction.

[Phantom 2,533]

Candye Kane is out of surgery. The Dr. said he believes he was able to get all of the tumor and while it was bigger and there was more of it than they thought, they believe they got it all. She was stable throughout the whole thing.

Candye Kane who has been mentioned a few times in the past is back in hospital according to her latest facebook update

 

"I'm in Austin at Brackenridge hospital. I have bad pancreatitis. They are trying to manage my pain and maybe even give me the nerve block but I have missed two shows, my tires blew out and I feel hideous. Hopefully I can get the block and get right on the road again. Send me your prayers "

Happy News at the Doctors office today! NO tumor growth or change in the last six months!! I had to go back on my injections of Octreotide but I am grateful to be alive and really happy that the tumor is stable and hasn't changed or spread! Now we start a tour tomorrow up in the Northwest! Come see us and spread some holiday cheer!

Her cancer is "growing a bit", and has spread to her liver. She seems positive about it all, though and is still playing shows.

[Phantom 2,533]

She's just had her first course of chemo https://www.facebook.com/candye.kane

Candaye will be playing a gig in Minneapolis on August 15th. Not sure if I'll be able to make it along to see how she's doing as I'm running the merchandise table for Rosie Flores the night before.

It's been a while since the last update on Candy's health. She's back in hospital after experiencing internal bleeding. Doctors are trying to locate the source.

I'm no doctor but I'd search in the heart area.

I believe the source is lower down

[Phantom 2,533]

I can't copy links from my phone but Candye is currently in intensive care while doctors are still trying to locate the source of the internal bleeding.

[Weebl 216]

That doesn't sound too good for her!

 

Wasn't she a porn star or something as well back in the day?

[Phantom 2,533]

ok the powers that be at my work have allowed me to use Facebook while at my desk. (Previously it had been blocked on the network)

So, with that, I can copy and paste info from Candye's facebook page.
Here's the entry she posted on February 11th

 

 

Still in hospital! Cedars Sinai in LA. I don't know where people are getting the idea that I'm home! #3526 is my room number but please don't visit w/out calling first. I have been in hospitals since January 4 with just 2 days @ home! It's really depressing here. I know I have 5 of the best dr's in the nation and cedars is a great hospital but I am thru w this mishegoss (Yiddish for nonsense)!

They still haven't found the source of this bleeding. Yesterday I had an endoscopy w the head of gastro-interology. He found that my stomach lining bled just when they tried to wash it w water. He said he had never seen that, in any of his patients. Leave it to me to get the weirdest cancer and the rarest condition anywhere! So I guess the next move is more tests.

Meanwhile I can't work or make $$ so the situation is getting desperate. If you can help w a donation, every little bit helps. My paypal handle is still candyekanetour@aol.com
My wish is that they will diagnose me properly, fix the problem, and let me go back to making music. It is what gives my life meaning. I am sure I will be outta here by next week. In the meantime please keep those flowers, prayers and visualizations coming! They brighten up this dismal hospital room and raise my spirits. Love to you all!
