Suzanne Somers statement on the Rosie Show

Boy, I sure hope not. I'm sure I'd be much better off if that tumor wasn't found on a mammogram and I was still sitting here waiting for it to break off and metastisize. And I have read her books, and she had estrogen POSITIVE breast cancer. She took her course of anti-hormonals and now makes millions talking to women about taking hormones helping them "get their mojo back" and be young forever. Well Suzanne, my mojo went flying out the window the day my breasts got cut off and if I follow your advice, I will be forever young because the hormones are like candy for my cancer and that will do the job for me!!!!

Sorry to rant, Jacks Nanna. But that woman is nut bag and she takes risks with womens lives everyday by spouting this crap. She makes me so mad!

I think she if full of it......harmones I guess, lol.

I would like to know her oncologists' name so that no one with any sense would go to him.

My son's fiance is having a hysterectomy next month, robotic thing....but the doctor recommended her keeping her ovaries.  She's only 27 but had her tubes tied a few years back since they didn't want any more kids.  She told me the doctor left it up to her about her ovaries.  I told her it was her decision but that I would never recommend anyone to take any kind of harmones since that fueled my breast cancer too.  I know I cannot entirely blamed harmones but I did take them after my hysterectomy that was in 2002.

Sadly, there will be some women that will believe what she says, just like some people believe there is a magic pill to lose weight, etc....

Since when is a cancer tumor a jelly donut? My tumor was 6+cm in my small breast. They did several smooshes on that mammo. No exploding tumor.

I think Suzanne is playing the part of Crissy from Three's Company. Either that or she's taking too much estrogen.

Actually, with some of the stuff she spouts (exploding tumors????????) I wonder if estrogen is all she's taking.

P.S. Yes, I know that was a nasty post. A woman as dangerous as she is needs a nasty response.

She's a loon who sadly believes her own press. Cancer spreads through cell reproduction not getting squished. If she stops one women getting a mammo with her nonsense!!??

I have never heard of such a thing.  A tumor is not an abcess. I say she's probably got a new book or DVD or product line coming out and she needs to say something controversial to get people talking her up like we are.  Man, sometimes I hate celebrities.

I rest my case.

I have never heard of that and likely no one else has either. I think she dreams this crap up in her sleep. OMG..when is this woman going to learn to keep her mouth shut? I just saw her interviewed again last week. 90 pills a day plus injections yada yada yada! 

No offense to anyone but I am so sick of her and of others saying they have the cure...doctors know nothing..blah blah blah

On the other hand, it makes me move forward with yelling to the world that we all need to know where we are putting our dollars. BC is not fluffy pink, it's not about a celeb trying to make a fortune with this crap. It is an insideous disease that keeps taking people from us. It breaks my heart to see all of the very young women we have lost here lately.

Please tell everyone you know to continue to donate but to really look at where their bucks go. It has to go to research at credible sources..please let these recent deaths not be for nothing...move forward and keep fighting for real research! 

Sorry for the rant but sometimes this just frosts me (nothing personal to the OP. You asked a legitimate question)

Hugs to all

I don't know about you guys, but I'm 54 and I look a LOT better than her! I wash my face with soap and use an astringent ($3.99) to take my make up off (if I bother wearing any!!) I can't even IMAGINE how much she spends on her looks!!!!

BUT, I did have a CYST burst during a mammogram and got to get ultrasounds for a couple years after that. BUT, I told the tech where I had a pain and she said they don't "ultrasound for pain". Too bad, it was where I was diagnosed with cancer a year later!!!

Here's a pic of the old bag Suzanne. What is she, almost 70 by now??

One more reason why I hate it when "celebrities" talk about their health and pretend that they are experts when they aren't.

Less awareness, more secrecy please! Shhhhhh let's do the research quietly - that may be a way to a cure. Because right now BC is so bloated with publicity that the "movement's" (not even a simple illness any more) fat belly can barely move enough to make any real progress. Rich men grow fat and greedy, so they say. BC needs bypass surgery.

I'm at the point where I'd rather no one know anything about BC. Where are we with all of this so-called knowledge? Still dying (perhaps in some cases from treatment) and still having to put up with crap from two-bit actresses and others who are given voice by irresponsible journalists.

I blame the people who put these amateurs on TV more than the amateurs themselves. This is America, land of opportunities. You have a lump (or not) you get cancer, you are seen on TV and bang! That makes you a guru.  

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT.

Susan Summers looks like an old rag!!!!!.She reminds me of Joan Rivers with all those facelifts....I guess they have special mirrors.

Susanne Sommers is a has-been idiot and why people keep putting her on their talk shows is beyond me.  Well, it's not really, they know she's going to say something stupid and possibly controversial and get their name out into the public eye.

She should have a permanent balloon bubble over her head that says "Ignore every word out of my collegened lips as I am nothing but an ignorant media sell-out." 

If anybody finds a clip of that ridiculous statement on YouTube or anywhere, can you PM me with the link?  Looks like great blog fodder - although I typically don't like to make fun of the less fortunate and intellectually disabled, like Ms. Sommers.  Since the things she says miseducates and hurts people, I think she's fair game. 

Rosie O'Donnell & Susanne Sommers...need I say more?  It takes a kook to know one.  Scary that they discuss medical issues, especially about this disease which is so rampant. As far as I know Susanne & Rosie haven't earned an M.D. title after their names. The sad part is that some people take their word as sacred because they are "celebrities."  Sorry, but my heroes are all of the women and men who are fighting this nasty beast.  Some of the people who post here know so much more than an actress who is making money writing books and exploiting the disease she had.  I could go on and on, but will stop my rant now. 

I had lots of mammograms over the years. Ended up with two tumors in the same breast. They didn't split form mammo as one was IDC and the ILC.

I am sick of celeb BS and sick of people posting crap here and on FB about the cure being hidden from us by Gov't and Pharma. It is so insulting to the medical community but even more insulting to the women here that have just lost their lives to this insidious disease.

Sorry again for the rant but I am so PO'D at the BS

Hugs to all

ETA: Ms Sommers looks like an old haggard blow up doll...already comes inflated...ego and all!

Some of her books are interesting but I worry about her taking all those hormones and wonder if her diet previously( with her books on protein )if she was eating a lot of hormone laden meat tha tfuelled her breast cancer. You can only mess so far with nature and I dont think its normal either for someone in their 60s to have periods. I would not take medical advice from actresses because they might play a doctor on TV but in real life..they are not!

Now I know why I prefer reading...
