This seems to be worthy of a thread where it can be followed. I'm going to move posts about Jerry from other threads. Also very sad to hear he is having to deal with this and that it has meant he cannot care for his wife as he had planned and hoped.

Even though this was about a past HG I think it's quite news worthy...and sad. According to Jesse, Jerry from last year now has throat cancer . And remember how he said he was staying so strong so he could always take care of his wife? Well guess cause he is sick she is now in assisted living. All so sad. They didn't say anything about prognosis. I'm hoping there is a shot at recovery. I didn't love his game, but loved his love for his wife and really hope this is something he can get past.

Not to be crass, but all the bad things that came out of Jerry's mouth. Karma may have gotten him. It's always sad though when someone gets cancer. His wife has Parkinson's I believe and wasn't doing well during the show. They are both from a two little burbs outside my town. Not the same one, but very close to each other.

I totally agree with you Lurk.......so well said. I, too, am sad for Jerry. I am going through chemotherapy now....(was diagnosed with breast cancer in February)....and even though my first thought was.....that God was punishing me....or bad Karma was getting me...or whatever....I have since been convinced by MANY good oncology nurses, doctors, etc. that cancer happens to the BEST of people sometimes....Oh well...I pray for Jerry that he has a good prognosis.....

WOW hope that is true will go read about Jerry. I was off posting in other threads about it to try to get more info. I should have been patient (just this thread moves SO fast). I can believe Jesse has old/wrong info (I pray). Laj I hated what came out of his mouth, but I care bout his devoted wife's karma and needing him! Ya know! Nana here is my problem. My basement has 2 rooms. Easy to put ceiling light in first room. PROBLEM is the light by the freezer is behind the stand up freezer so I have to walk past it to turn light on. There is a ceiling on, but the past owner slapped it up w/spit and I noticed a fray so I NEVER us it ever. I may start bringing a flashlight down there lol. Ok off to check out the links about Jerry...thanks all!

oh Cay hun I just saw your post. First a BIG healing hug filled with love and good thoughts. I no longer think of bad things as 'punishments" and think it's unfair for others to judge them as such. I do think life is one big fun filled (extract tongue from cheek) learning experience. And sad but true we often learn the most from the really bad/icky stuff in our lives. And one thing I've often heard folks say stuck with me. So often people say "why me." Several folks have said "well why not me." After all, in this dart board of life, we keep getting hit. Some darts are good/some bad, some in between. It's what we do etc. I'll look forward to hearing about your full recovery so please keep me posted. Until then, if you don't mind, I'll be sending healing thoughts and heartfelt prayers! Big hug

My reaction to cancer (after the initial shock) was to take stock of my life present and past and realized "wow, it's been pretty damn good". Any thing from here on out is just icing on the cake including the negative blips. Good luck, Cay!

We REALLY need some accurate past HG updates on here somewhere. In trying to find info about Jerry, I found a VILE thread on Survivor Sucks (what a shock) basically both killing him off AND starting a pool over his date of death. And I wonder why I run from that site. Feel a need to shower now! Other sites are saying he is over the cancer, seeing his wife daily, and since he is blogging recently on that link Laj was kind enough to post, I'm feeling better bout him. One post said that Allison from BB9 (from Boston, pharmaceutical sales) had a baby. Okay! lol No details or anything. Yup we need some accurate past HG updates.

I hope I have not offended anyone. My point was that is was more ironic than anything. Of course I don't believe anyone deserves to be punished with something as horrific as cancer. You are right Lurk...dartboard of life. It can happen to anyone. Cancer could care less who it gets. It just wants to live. However, the human spirit is capable of great things and healing can happen in spite of it's best efforts to take us down. Cay, I wish for blessings and love to surround you during this time.

Ok I started a thread dealing with ALL HG current and former for out of the house info sharing. Perhaps Sea we could move some of this over there, so rather than have 100 threads we can have ONE that deals with all HG. Good idea???!!! Anyway I'll be chatting over there. Found some more info btw but want to double check some of it PRE posting!

Thanks Lurknomore, Kappy, Lajonesin and everyone for their well-wishes.... No Lajonesin...I wasn't offended at all....in fact, that was my point....my first reaction was "I obviously deserved this for some of my past sins"....but then, I started feeling JUST LIKE Kappy stated..... and Lurknomore, you obviously "get it" too.....I took stock of my past, and realized how much of a blessing every day is from now on, and I vowed to be less judgmental of others and much kinder. I feel so much better about myself on the inside since I have started the chemotherapy journey. My journey to beat this cancer is not over, my prognosis is good, and I have a wonderfully supportive hubby and family and a wonderful set of friends (not to mention all of you guys here!) And I actually feel like by getting cancer, God sent me a wake-up call and a gift. My type of breast cancer is very curable, and all of the noticeable cancer was removed with clear margins in surgery. With all of the time to pray, reflect and think....I feel much closer to the Lord now, and I have a positive attitude and I am most grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Thanks again you guys. You all mean the world to me. I am enjoying BB this year, and hope we all continue to do so! LOL!
