Though it would be easy to snark...after having watched my six foot 200 lb father melt down to under 100 lbs from colon cancer, I can't.

"Dwina is reportedly trying to persuade Robin to visit a Native American medicine man.

'This incredible Indian tribe introduced Robin and I to something called Spider Medicine that apparently contains properties that can help you get well from certain untreatable illnesses,' said the druid priestess."

His wife is a druid priestess?

I'm not a Bee Gees fan my any stretch of the imagination, but damn... Those Gibbs have had some bad luck when it comes to longevity. I wish the man well.

While the Bee Gees made bank on the disco scene some of their early work was very good. Songs like "To Love Somebody" , ,"Lonely Days" ,"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" and "I Started a Joke" are some of my favorites.

Too bad. Talented family, put on a great show. Saw them in studio for a PBS special.. It was all their older work you mentioned above.
Pretty awesome intimate setting...*sigh*

Colon cancer itself won't kill you; it's when it spreads to other organs (i.e., liver) that gets you a death sentence. They can pretty much remove your entire colon and give you a bag as long as the cancer didn't spread outside the colon.

The Gibb boys are dying in order from youngest to oldest. Andy, Maurice, and now soon Robin. And their poor mom Barbara is still alive to see it all.

Should also mention:

That "Spider Medicine" is medically known to have some benefits; the downside is that they inject (or have you consume) various altered venoms from non-medically toxic species as a method of having the proteins break down cystic adherents (see: tumors) since the tumor can't alter itself rapidly enough to fight it off.

Years ago my uncle went into the hospital for some exams when his liver functions in his blood work looked suspect. Three months later I was standing beside his gravesite as the piper performed a solemn rendition of Amazing Grace. Liver cancer, like pancreatic cancer, is a bad hand to draw as when you get your diagnosis, you can likely count your remaining time in weeks, not years.

If I were to snark, it would be something along the lines of twin brother Maurice "putting the band back together."

But no snark here. The Gibb brothers' songwriting talents were legendary. "Grease," "Woman in Love," and "Islands in the Stream" were hits they gave away to other performers. Their own top forty hits barely fit on two cds. Include other artists' cover versions that made the top forty, you'll need at least a couple more...

And this:
Some shaman with ZERO knowledge of cancer has a cure it?
Seriously?


Plus: Did you know that Maurice is pronounced 'Morris' as opposed to 'More-reese'?

The more you know.

Bless you,Robin. I'm usually as snarky as they come, but I (although I'm a Metal guy) have always found the Bee Gees songs (especially the early stuff..i.e. New York Mining..) to be catchy and damn near perfect songs.

Hope you find a way to keep on keepin' on.

That is normal among Brits. See, for example, Maurice "Dr. Zaius" Evans.

When you are dying of liver cancer, might as well drink the spider venom. The worst thing that can happen is it kills you a week or so sooner (and from what I've seen, that's not a bad week to miss).

FTFA: Mr Gibb, who does not smoke or drink and eats healthily,

Seriously? He looks like a freakin skeleton. Get that man a half pound burger with cheese and bacon and a beer. It's us fat people who need the 'healthy' diet, he needs to put some weight on!

I echo your sentiments. My 220 lb brother wasted away from cancer to almost nothing. Sorry about your dad.

Thirded. Can't snark on someone dying of cancer, especially after watching my Alzheimery dad waste away to a skeleton with skin from cancer. Poor man - lost his mind to Alz, then his body to cancer.

I hate cancer.

Who da thunk Barry would outlive them all?

last year I watched my grandma waste away from bone cancer - from about 160 pounds to 90's - in a matter of months. (summer till November.)

He and Dwina, 58, an ordained druid priestess, are reportedly considering a visit to a Native American medicine man for a possible natural cure.

And that's when I knew he was a dead man.
