Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 okay all.. one of the Ladies that i do at our salon brought this to my attention.. she had already heard this on the news and knowing jerry was going thru panc problems she happened across this article (of course it was in an infamous scandal sheet) but what if its true?? could it be a possible celebrity link???? parkingsons has micheal J fox.. FRIENDS " star -- hospitalized as the result of an extreme diet -- was rocked by a terrifying cancer scare. HE'S HAPPY! Matt gives the thumbs-up to his new lease on life -- and a fat new contract. While doctors treated him for dehydration and other diet-related problems, the actor began experiencing crushing abdominal pains. Immediately everyone feared the worst -- but it turned out to be pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. Meanwhile, Matt's fellow cast members went through their own agony -- fearing the likeable star had cancer. " Any time the pancreas is involved, often the first thought is cancer, " said a close source. " Matt was one sick puppy when he landed in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Initially everyone thought he needed only hydration and a good rest. " But as the days went by, Matt showed no sign of improvement. Finally, further tests indicated his pancreas was inflamed. " He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and pain medicine and slowly he began to respond. " Doctors say a high-protein, high-fat diet like Matt's can increase the risk of gastrointestinal conditions including pancreatitis. JENNIFER'S HAPPY! " Right now the 'Friends' camp is heaving a huge sigh of relief, " divulged an insider. " Matt really gave them quite a scare. " Matt's health crisis reached its peak just as salary negotiations between the cast, Warner Bros. Television and NBC was at its most frenzied. " The 'Friends' gang were rallying behind Matt as hard as they were pushing for their new $750,000-per-episode salary. " Matt was in the hospital a week, and he was just starting to feel better when the 'Friends' cast reached its eleventh-hour breakthrough at midnight on Saturday, May 13. " Now they have two reasons to jump for joy -- Matt's health is better and they've got the highest paying acting contract on TV. " Aniston had blamed herself for encouraging Matt to go on the strict diet. She told a pal, 'The whole week was a nightmare. Matt was in the hospital and negotiations for the next two years of our lives were on the line.' " When the cast visited an on-the-mend Matt shortly after the new contract was signed, he weakly joked, 'What were you guys trying to do, kill me?' " A relieved kidded back, 'That phony sick ploy of yours worked -- we got our deal!' " -- MARC CETNER and REGINALD FITZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
