Behind his seductive stare, this cowboy struggled to rein in his playboy ways, always falling prey to his forbidden desires. Buckle up: Cooper's story is fraught with danger, heartbreak, and, in the end, unbelievable pain.

    In the fifties my dad had prostate cancer which had spread to his bladder. He opted to fight the disease at home with no medical intervention after one hospital stay for a cobalt treatment. Our doctor warned us stringently not to tell him he had terminal cancer because it might result in suicide, i was a child then but later l was troubled by that approach. He suffered greatly, and died two years later. He would have died anyway because cancer treatments were pretty experimental back then.

      ​@@sharonrodriguez9592 my sister (5 yrs older) took ALL the jabs. She got breast cancer a year later. She suffered TERRIBLY from the treatments. She got constipated so the doctor wanted to make a star cut in her A-hole.....like that sas going to help? I had colon cancer in 2013. I did Gerson Therapy. Took a couple of years was very difficult to do alone but I did. I saved my gallbladder and colon. I'm just a lowly alternative practitioner that worked for alternative doctors and helped people through alternative treatments. My sister listened to doctors and passed away while suffering unbelievably the whole time. A huge tumor grew into her lung right were the stream of radiation was sent into her
      Standard Medical Treatment for cancer is brutal. 5-15 yrs of life after treatment is considered a success. But in the past cancer treatments were even worse.
      My sister was told it was hereditary. It IS NOT! out of a very large extended family. Only a few got cancers. It's a metabolic disease. High stress, alcohol, sugar, burning the candle at both ends and exposure to chemicals like tobacco and heavy metals are contributing factors.

    Clara Bow not only survived the transition to sound films, she remained a top star until 1931. It was her mental breakdown and scandal that made her quit her career. She had a very pleasant speaking voice with only a subtle hint of Brooklynese. Barbara Stanwyck had a much stronger Brooklyn accent and did not hinder her career.

      He did not look good. I don't know what Patricia Neal saw in him. However, things happen for a reason, and if you ever read her memoir, it is really quite a story. Cooper had a big impact on her life in ways she couldn't have known at the time she was involved with him. She even met his widow once, long after Cooper died. His widow and his daughter forgave her. Eventually through his daughter, who was close friends with Mother Dolores (former actress Dolores Hart), Neal got involved in the Abbey with regard to drama programs. She stayed at the Abbey when she wrote her memoir. She finally converted to Catholicism, which was a requirement in order to be buried there upon her death. She was buried there following her death in 2010.

    Well, I have a pulmonary doctor that won't tell me how bad of shape I am in. I knew it was bad as I ended up in the hospital 8 days. So when I ask the pulmonary doctor the first time, he just casually changed the subject. Second dr appt visit I ask same question, same thing. I just told him I am the kind of person that wants to know the true, if I am at deaths door, I have business to put in order. I can't afford to die without knowing and leave my family business a mess, that's not fair to my children and the government end up getting what's theres. He said next visit he would have all my results ready and we will go over them. I thanked him.

      Your medical records should be very simple to get, ask the receptionist they will print the information out and hand it to you. The hospital will also give you a copies of anything you want.
      The next time your Dr doesn’t reply to a direct question, ask him again. Don’t be afraid to insist.

    There is alot of speculation as to Hemingway. If he may have been maybe a closet gay. The number of marriages isn't extraordinary for Hollywood..or even in public these days..
    But their relationship might have been More than Just friendship..with maybe a secret relationship they did or didnt do anything about with Irish Catholic feelings..
    But his wrighting isnt typical of his macho appearance and actions.
    And killing himself maybe true. Just great friends..but HIS possibly being gay isnt anything new. So it's possible..
