God how scary... my mom has fought it a couple times and won... thank god...

its good they caught it early and expect her to recover...

It is scary, but people, regular people face this every day.

I adore Angelina, but I often feel like John Q public are the nerds and Hollyweird are the popular people.

And I worry more about us regular folk. She is going to get the best treatments because she can afford and override any obstacles that our insurances may not pay for.

I am watching my aunt jump thru hoops, and not approved for things as they didn't feel something was "necessary" and a year later when it could have been averted, we find out it was very necessary.

Maybe my profession has turned my heart to stone towards stars with disease or sudden deaths. I see so many people suffer and die in my line of work and we tend to worry and fret more about a star than the people who are normal and are battling it without all the fanfare.

I understand what your saying. the stars have the advantages of having the best of the best. the regular people just have to take it. So I feel little pity for them.
