Re: Damn, Aretha, queen of soul has pancreatic cancer.....

I heard that this morning. Unfortunately, people with that type of cancer don't have a very good track record. Lets say a prayer that the "Queen of Soul" sticks around with us a while longer.

And a prayer that her suffering is at a minimum. I lost a fine close friend to it recently. Not cool. sad

Re: Damn, Aretha, queen of soul has pancreatic cancer.....

hey nineteen, that's Retha Franklin.....very sad to hear but has anyone officially confirmed that's what it is? her camp has  managed to stay pretty tight-lipped about it. we'll put her on the prayer list as well, but hope that the diagnosis is something else.

I thought I heard that she was doing better.  If it's pancreatic cancer then that's not good.  She's been the Queen of Soul to me since I was a child. 
Here's one of my faves of hers.  I'll be praying for you girl.

I love Aretha dearly and hope and pray for wellness.  Lord knows she's provided me with much for my wellness throughout the years.  I can't hold back the tears.

Re: Damn, Aretha, queen of soul has pancreatic cancer.....

Great News - just as I suspected, the media got us again. She has now stated that no family member told anyone about her having pancreatic cancer, and that the operation she had was a complete success. Her doctor has stated it might even give her an extra 10 to 15 years above ground. She's got her weight down too.
viva Aretha, long live the Queen! now I just gotta find some tickets, never seen her LIVE.

That would be the "Godmother of soul", just as James Brown was the "Godfather". Positive thoughts for a full recovery.

Re: Damn, Aretha, queen of soul has pancreatic cancer.....

That's horrible news for anybody.  I wish her well.  The good thing is, is that is the slowest moving cancer there is and I would bet unless they caught it late she'll be able to fight it back to good health.
