And the point of this tread?

Discussing the health of someone who's music style is about as far away from what most people in the Mudcat have an interest in is an odd thing. Yes, let's all wish her well; but is that because we can't wish all people who are ailing well and so we stick to famous people with our wishes (outside of friends and family, of course)?

She's lucky she's wealthy. She can get the best treatments available. Would that the millions of women who contract breast cancer in the Third World get something close to that attention. Hell, forget the Third World. Try the millions of Americans who do not have & cannot afford health insurance but are too "well off" to qualify for Medicade.
