Breast Cancer?
 

A very very handsome friend of mine just mentioned that he heard from someone that Stevie has breast cancer... (WHAT?!?!?!) I was so freaked out I just had to ask on here... :shrug:

Sounds like another...
 

rumor, I wouldnt worry about it because if Stevie was indeed ill she would be seeking treatment instead of preparing for her Australian tour.

What the hell does what your friend's mug and your opinion of it have to do with the rumor you are trying to spread .Uh oh folks looks like our troll free period has come to an end again.:nod:

STEVIE ARRIVED IN MELBOURNE TODAY

Can someone not ask a question without being branded a troll?

I was confused as the the relevence of the 'very very handsome' bit tho...

YES VERY VERY HANDSOME I DID WONDER MYSELF :shrug:

Someone on only their 8th post appears with a "cancer ' rumor and phrases it in such a tacky way.Sorry but my very functional Trollometer is way over in the red.

okay first ever post on the stevie site. Just to say that was an awful attempt to try and start a rumor and also in very bad taste may i add.

The voice of sanity has arrived ! Thank you:xoxo:

Um
 

I wasn't trying to start a rumo(u)r, I was asking a question. My friend heard this from a legitimate source, at least according to him, and we were both worried and I thought I should ask. You people are really bitches sometimes!

You, BombaySapphire, rarely even post about Stevie Nicks. You've posted about Celine Dion and Tom Delay, but, um, not Stevie... I had an important question, and if your .58 posts per day makes you think that you're better than me, then that is sad. Some of us have busy lives.. I really resent how rude you are.

Rule of thumb: "Friends" and anonymous "legitimate sources" rarely make for good news. If it were announced that Stevie had breast cancer, it would be all over her official website, as well as all of the major news websites (see: Kylie Minogue). And there would surely be a ****load of threads about it here. It's very easy and always in your own best interests to do just a modicum of research before asking a question like this in a fan forum, lest you be accused of spreading vicious rumours, because yes, fans can be bitches sometimes when it comes to these kinds of things.

It's not your fault, you got slightly duped, but go back and read your initial post and I think you'll see why some people got a little up in arms over it. What kind of response would you expect if someone came here and posted, "Hi all, I just heard from a rather voluptuous acquaintance of mine that Stevie robbed a bank in Utah this morning, is this true?"

Ha, wouldn't it be great if it turns out she actually did have cancer? Maybe she isn't completely ready to release the news yet, or maybe she doesn't even have it yet but will soon, and this was all just a coincidence. Either way, Ms. Senseformiles would either be owed many apologies or would be worshiped for the prophetic powers that you all worship from Ms. Nicks. Irony at its best.

Maybe people got her mixed up with Melissa Etheridge or someone else.:shrug: People can't get artists and their songs that they perform correct so I am sure that they might miss-match illnesses.

You ARE trolling. Calling people names and making personal attacks are not tolerated here. Stop it.

Drink bleach ;)

Bobo, no matter how inappropriate & offensive you can be, you crack me up.

Welcome to The Ledge. As was mentioned, there could be some confusion with the artist involved. Melissa Etheridge is one woman with a similar husky voice that has been in the news. Another woman, who I think might be from Australia (coincidental to Stevie's tour going there), actually, is Kylie Minogue. My bet is somehow the info about the Australia tour got mixed in.

If some folks here seem a little bit defensive, it was only a short time ago that someone heard via email that Stevie had a stroke:

I think you'll find most people here are friendly. As far as we all know, Stevie is doing quite well. She has mentioned long in an interview that she has a slight mitral valve prolapse in her heart, some asthma, vocal cord strain, a run with Epstein's Barr, etc. but hasn't had any major health issues. She continues to be involved in the Arizona Heart Institute in terms of fund raising and the City Of Hope, involved with cancer and research among other charities that are meaningful to her.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:

I heard this...
 

I read somewhere that Stevie had a form of breast cancer when she

had her breast implants removed in the 70's, as of now i am not sure

whether it has ever come back.

I hope she has great health in the future, it would be terrible for her to
die before her time, she is a great singer/songwriter.

16 days to go!!!

There's SO many Rumours that go around about Stevie and her health that it's just absolutely silly. A VERY short time ago everyone was freaked out because there was a rumor that Stevie had had a stroke. And that turned out to be totally bogus. And I feel pretty sure that the same is true here. She's a fighter and she loves her life - she's had to fight for it to get to the place she's at now ("spiritually," I mean), and so I kinda think she'd be in the hospital or something instead of touring right now, no?
What I don't understand is why there's so many people who make this crap up - Why would it EVER even occur to them to DO such a thing?
Anyway, my suggestion, personally, is don't believe anything until it's posted on Nicksfix. :rolleyes:

Rule number 1)a) when it comes to rumors about Stevie:
When people start quoting "Legitimate sources," start getting REAL skeptical REAL quick! :lol: There's apparently an AWFUL lot of people out there who "ain't got nuthin' better to do." :shrug:

She did not have them removed in the 1970s that is when they were put in .The implants were taken out in the early 1990s and I don't believe anything was said then about cancer. She did say that she believed that the leakage from the silicone implants may have contributed to her chronic fatigue.the breast cancer rumor is new and apparently the source is a'friend of a very .very handsome friend 'Suspicious indeed if I do say so myself.

??? :shrug:

( such as??? ;) )

I'm confused about these implants. I have read about it happening around 1980, but that actual date is not important. I never understood why Stevie thought she needed them in the first place. From looking at the old FM photos, it doesn't appear she really "neeed" them at all. Was she going after the Dolly Parton look!:confused:

I'm fairly certain that the year she got them was 1976.Her reason unsurprisingly was 'because everyone else was doing it then"

I don't know exactly when she had the implants put in, but it was in the 70's that she did. She had them removed in the early 90's because of leakage... Never heard anything about a breast cancer scare around the time of them removed... just the leakage and the fatigue that could have been caused by that.

They did it first! :sorry:

Stevie NEVER had breast cancer. She had something called Epstein Barr Syndrome. Here is Stevie's own account of her implants and their removal:

:shocked: I've heard about her implants being in a freezer. Just a little creepy I must say but poor Stevie for having to go through this.

Thanks for finding this info. I still don't understand why she had them done in the first place. She was plenty large enough naturally, especially for someone 5-1. The implants were totally unnecessary IMO.

I think the implants themselves have cancer. They've probably been sitting next to chicken for years. Chicken breast. The bacteria has transmuted and given the implants, ahem, breast cancer.

That was soooooo lame. :rolleyes:

Stevie has clarified the implants are in her doctor's pathology freezer. (Not next to the frozen peas at home).

I can remember during the Enchanted tour, at her Pittsburgh show, I was talking to a former teacher who was working at the venue over the summer. She told us that they had heard that Stevie just found out that she had breast cancer and wasn't sure if they would be finishing the tour.

That was in 1998.

Never happened.

Like, OMG, that would be like totally cool, so that like the 1st thing I could/would do is like OMG totally apologize to a Ledgie. :p

:rolleyes:

I haven't read all the posts whatsoever,

BUT

its fair to ask a question and not be BASHED AND BANISHED for it!! Im sorry to the author for any upset any one on here has caused you, we just get worried sometimes and yes there are a few people who have spread nasty rumours on here and got us all worried....

AND yes if Stevie wasn't well she certainly wouldn't be touring let alone going to another country an touring....

Jayne~~

p.s- i know some one has probably said what i have

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Stevie also has said she felt the size of her breasts were not balanced with the size of her hips. She didn't have them during the white album but had them by Rumours. I agree that she looked perfect before getting them.

anyone got pictures and time to do a comparison...before, during, after?

see 'question for a moderator' in the ledge boards...
i find it interesting that 'rules' dont seem to be applied equally on this board...
seems whats applies for one doesnt apply for the other...


as to the handsome bit, were you giving someone a compliment hoping whomever you heard the rumour from would read it?
thats how it read to me :shrug: surely you can understand that would appear 'odd' to readers
