Robin Gibb of the Bee Gee's awoke out of a coma yesterday after a lengthy battle and on going battle with Cancer. From what I had read, he has had numerous bouts of cancers of recent.

Blew me away as I read it in the news this morning and not good he has had liver cancer, and a few others forms what I just read, sad and is a pity. here is another area of hope as I would have never thought. I hope he does get past this as so many recently have been passing on.
I saw that headline the other day and meant to go back to read it, but got sidetracked upgrading some of my computer. I never got back to it. I appreciate you posting this, as I was and am a huge Bee Gees fan. I hate to hear of his cancer.
Does give much reason to understand how fortunate good health is, not going backwards in time but I know of a man which was in a comma and had six harsh trail chemos. Yet he lived past it - hopefully this shall be the case with Robin.
Doing well here, I read it within in the morning newspaper which comes from the city to the town here every morning and I was surprised to read what I had - and I despise cancer as well he was a great talent of a great band. I loved this one song which he wrote years ago called, "One".
Doug I just arrived home here and I am going to look further via this copernic program - hopefully they can and hopefully there can be an end to this disease of cancer - yet I doubt it.

"Gibb remains in intensive care after waking from a coma"
My father-in-law had hepatocellular carcinoma--liver cancer. It is a rapidly progressive cancer which has no cure, unfortunately. From the moment of his diagnosis to the time of his death was less than six weeks. He hadn't had it long before he was diagnosed and it was in the early stages. The doctors at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St.Louis gave him a prognosis of about six months. They were so far off. When I saw that he was going down hill rapidly, I talked to my doctor who said he would take him as a patient if that's what he wanted. My doctor didn't think he'd live much more than a month, and he was very close to it. He was in a coma for about a week before he passed. He never woke up, but he did know we all were there. Right before he passed (minutes before), he grabbed my mother-in-law and pulled her to him, gave her a kiss and then he took his last breath.
Cancer, in general is a horrible disease. I may be facing it, myself. I've been surrounded by friends and family members who have had it to one degree or another.
I'm so sorry Robin has to suffer this insidious form of cancer. If it's going to take him, I hope he doesn't suffer long and that he's pain free.
Yes, our thoughts are with him. He is in the advanced stages of cancer.

ReplyDeleteI played the be gees at my wedding
ReplyDeleteI grew to love them more recently - within the last three years.
ReplyDeleteI was into the Gibs more when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteI hope he is pain free...
ReplyDeleteMy compassion is with him in his difficulty.

ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well this morning.
He looked so unwell in recent pictures. One hopes the doctors can reverse his situation as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI don't honestly know what his status is...
