She has been giving out bad medical advice for years. I can't stand to even see her on my screen anymore. If she comes on, the channel gets switched and I will never, never buy any of the products that she touts.

Absolutely right. It's a much more fatal cancer.

Secondly, I don't think Ms. Somers should be lecturing on natural this or that. She's basically sold anything and everything she can to make $$ (thigh master) for years.

I don't think ANYONE should be taking medical advice from Chrissy Snow.Is she an oncologist?Somehow I doubt it.Saying Patrick would still be alive if he hadn't had chemo so soon after his death is crass and disrespectful and Suzanne Somers has no business commenting on it.Until she (and that idiot Tom Cruise) obtain medical degrees I don't think either one of them have any business saying anything about medical treatment.

The choice of cancer treatment is very personal based on your particular circumstances. To criticize someone's decision after their death is disgusting.

I just read she mentioned it casually to someone at a party. Someone then called the media. I dont think she was grand standing but giving a private opinion. Wouldnt it be awful if things I said at a party (after a wine or two) hit the internet?

I am no fan of tabloid 'journalism'. Reading the link, she supposedly said this to a columnist. Whether it was supposed to be off the record or not I don't know, but she's been in Hollywood long enough to know better.

For her to comment in this manner was just distasteful.
