James Pickens. Jr’s Grey’s Anatomy cancer is art imitating life |

On the midseason finale of Grey’s Anatomy, we found out that Dr. Webber was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His character is not the only one who was diagnosed with; the actor got the same news earlier this year.
In 2024, he had his PSA tested; it was slightly elevated but still within the normal range. He went back in January, and this time it was higher. So after an MRI and a biopsy, he found out that, like almost all of the men in his family, he had prostate cancer.
He told Black Health Matters, “It’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear, but to be honest, prostate cancer has run through my family. My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t gotten it.”
Because it runs in his family, the 73-year-old has been getting tested since he was in his early 40s. And that early detection worked to his advantage.
The doctors recommended he get his prostate removed because it was caught so early, and that was the course of treatment he went with.
If prostate cancer is caught early enough, it is curable. So go to your doctor and let them test your blood. That is all it takes to possibly save your life.

Dean Cain is not invincible like Superman |

Dean Cain has been training to be an ICE agent, and it looks like he suffered an injury from it.
The actor shared a photo of his right arm bandaged up in a sling, and wrote, “Small mishap — will heal fully and quickly.” However, he didn’t say how he injured his arm.
If he has been training like the video we saw of the 59-year-old taking a fitness test, it is shocking. That is because he was going slower than a motionless bullet.
Maybe ICE needs to go back to having an age limit because it doesn’t look like ’90s has-beens are up for the challenge.
UPDATE: Cain explained how he hurt his arm, “Hysterical gaslighting from these idiots. Injury had nothing to do with ICE duties— just a simple home mishap…. What frauds and phonies. Apropos.”
I don’t think that sounds better. What about you?

Stevie Nicks is in the middle of her tour, but she was forced to take a break because of a break.
The singer wrote: “Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled. Please note that October dates will be unaffected.
“More information will be available at point of purchase, ticketholders are advised to hold on to their tickets and consult the list of rescheduled dates. All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date.
“The concert schedule will resume on Wednesday, October 1″ in Portland, Oregon. Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience.”
Hopefully, she will be better soon. After all, she has to promote her album, Buckingham/Nicks, with Lindsey Buckingham, which comes out on September 16th!

Richard Dreyfuss was supposed to appear at SharkCon this weekend to celebrate Jaws’ 50th anniversary. However, he had to cancel at the last minute, and he had a good excuse.
The 77-year-old actor is hospitalized with viral bronchitis. He recorded a message from his hospital bed apologizing to his fans for being unable to attend, and promised to attend future events.
Hopefully, he will feel better soon and be able to celebrate Jaws’ anniversary with the fans in the near future.

Heart’s Ann Wilson reveals she has cancer |

|  Heart/Facebook Heart has been on the road since April promoting their new album. However, they have to take the rest of the year off for medical reasons.
July 2, 2024
Dear friends,
I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous. The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it.
And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.
To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025. My team is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.
Thank you all for the support. This is merely a pause.
I’ve much more to sing.
Love,
Ann Wilson
Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to
make on the matter.
Hopefully, she beats cancer and is back on the road.
