The media storm over the show was totally unexpected by anyone, including MTV. It’s not their fault America went ape-shit over Bizarro Nelson family.
The first Associated Press story I read about Sharon’s condition said that it has spread to the lymph nodes, which I understand is very difficult to treat. This site says 64% of people survive 5 years with this form. (The site also says that newer forms of treatment may increase the odds).
And, yes, they’re showing her receiving treatments, so the upcoming shows should make for an interesting ride for all of us.
No, I’m not an “Osbournes” fan, or even an Ozzy fan for that matter, but I have the utmost respect for Sharon.
Do I think it’s a horrible idea for her to televise part of her operation and whatnot? If I were her, the answer is no – it’d leave me feeling way too vunerable. But since I’m not her, and if that’s what she wants to do…hey, whom am I to criticize?
Besides, my father died of colon cancer. I know I don’t have to imagine what she must be going though.
My only thought is – if something happens to her (which I hope doesn’t), my heart goes out to Ozzy and the kids. I honestly don’t know how they’d cope.
