I swear to God Charlie Jane! Stop teasing us. I seriously can't take this kind of emotional whiplash. I think that I am just going to have to curl up into a ball until these either do or do not appear on the BBC. I'll be in the corner.

I'm more than confident the BBC has been keeping this a secret from us all since 2011, so that they could start going through the footage and remastering the episodes for a massive DVD/Bluray release during the 50th anniversary. And just in time for Christmas too!

Mercy! I have but a singular heart to bear such reversals, Charlie Jane!

That IS the worst part. I am so sorry. I have no words. I wish you much happiness and love.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother to ovarian cancer. My mother, fortunately survived breast cancer with medical treatments (double mastectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy). I agree with what you're saying. My bf's mother actually beat stage 4 lung cancer through homeopathic care, and I think that's…

If strength of will could cure anything, my mother would have lived to be about 200 years old. Instead of, y'know, dying of cancer at age 50. That ol' willpower might have gotten her about 10 years; that and a team of brilliant doctors and OH LOOK this new drug just came out!

I would think Jolie feels fucking relieved. Imagine being 40-something with 6 kids and knowing that there's a good chance that you'll wake up any day with cancer, the very thing that took your mom and aunt. I would cut off any body part if I could reduce my chances so dramatically.

Yeah that kind of thing makes me so stabby. OK yes I do get stressed easily but I don't think that caused my Hodgkin's (currently in remission for the past 2 years). Or is that why my dad, who tried to eat healthy and exercise, died far too young of a rare GI cancer? Fuck that blame the victim shit.

Damnit, scientists, the stress cancer button has been there the whole time and you missed it?! Good thing we have Melissa Etheridge here to help us out.

This times a billionty quintillion. When you KNOW people are going to be listening to you, you have an extra level of responsibility to make reasonably certain you aren't saying things that are TOTAL BULLSHIT.

I actually had a "nutritionist" come in to my mother's hospital room...in the ward for terminally ill cancer patients, to tell us that she could totes get better if she just improved her diet/took vitamins... I honestly don't remember the exact wording. I was too busy raging to really listen properly by that point.

She lost me at believing that "stress" "turns on" a cancer gene.* Oh, so if I just make sure I stay chilled the fuck out at all times, I won't die of breast cancer like my mom did? Awesome.

Read that NPH was going to play Hedwig. So excited. Confused. Amazed. Falling in love.

Fuck homeopathy and fuck the delusional celebrities who continue to promote it as a replacement for actual research-based medical care.

So, next time one of my friends is diagnosed with breast cancer, I'm going to tell her about Melissa Etheridge's belief that cancer came from inside them and then they'll be cured and SO MUCH cheaper than chemo and multiple surgeries! Why isn't this part of Obamacare?

Did Melissa Etheridge really just give the "lentils" argument, #doe? Did she really go there? Obviously, Angelina needs more lentils, yoga, and muesli. Obviously.

Amen... I had breast cancer at age 26 and I don't think it was because "my stress turned it on". The FACT is, we DON'T know what causes it and why some people get cancer and some people don't (with and without BRCA), so for Melissa to try and be all high and mighty is ridiculous. I can't stand the people who try and…

Thanks, Dr. Melissa Etheridge. If only all those scientists around the world had consulted you. I had no idea you'd figured out the cause of cancer. Guess it was way simpler than we thought!

Lauren, thank you for sharing your story of loss and grief. A few short years ago I lost both parents in just 15 months. But, my mother, while in the the nursing home, towards the end, told me "Don't stop living just because I'm gone", is probably the greatest lesson she taught me. My daughter has in the past year…

Thank you. I sit here reading this it's Father's Day, and my dad passed away 3 days ago. I feel lost, but reading this made me feel less alone in that feeling.
