msc 18,536 Posted August 31, 2018 " We shared the fact that we had the same disease.’" What did she expect folk to take from that? The flu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,074 Posted August 31, 2018 Best thing that never happened to her. Of course it's not pancreatic cancer. Her license to ill goes straight through her heart. Let's see who wrote these jokes while I typed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,536 Posted September 1, 2018 Quote Gladys said in a statement: "I’d like to clarify that Aretha and I discussed both of us having cancer, mine was stage 1 breast cancer and hers was pancreatic. Due to early detection, I am cancer free and grateful for that. It is unfortunate that on a day we should be celebrating Aretha’s life and massive contribution to our world, a reporter who did not relay accurate information has missed the message. I send my love to the entire Franklin family and my gratitude to them for sharing such an extraordinary person with us." That's right, blame the guy who reported the words you said. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,365 Posted September 1, 2018 Yeah she must have known her comments were silly.She should have clarified as anyone would assume she meant pancreatic cancer..It is unfortunate she created unnecessary confusion not that people inferred that she was gravely unwell.

msc 18,536 Posted September 1, 2018 Imagine that conversation now. "Hi Aretha, sorry to hear you have end stage cancer, I know how you are feeling, having briefly had an easily treatable different cancer years ago. Oh, that's not making you feel better, is it?" "Hi, sorry to hear you are about to be executed, but I feel your pain, I once lost a pet gerbil as a kid. We share a similar pain..." 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
