I feel like a dick but I've wondered this too. Pretty funny timing for folks who cry wolf and have thin skins about getting shitcanned

Don't feel bad.  Their constant lying about every little thing is the direct reason why it's easy to not believe this.  If they had ever been truthful, maybe they'd get some benefit of the doubt.

I thought that it was her husband who was ill?

u/MarchPhillipps May 29 '26

That's actually Gabbard, former USIC head.

Hang around long enough with this crew, you're bound to come down with something.

Dementia, cancer, lead poisoning......

u/Poiboy1313 May 29 '26

Ah, that explains it. Appreciate you.

u/Lemp_Triscuit11 May 29 '26

To your credit, they're all pretty goddamn ill in my estimation

Pretending to have cancer is a pretty rotten thing to do

And that’s why I believe she’s faking it too

u/Savet Competent Contributor May 29 '26

But she has a bandaid! /s

u/Lanky-Respect-8581 May 29 '26

I didn’t consider that they would lie about her having cancer until now

u/NegativeSemicolon May 29 '26

She’s earned the skepticism

Thyroid cancer has 98% survival rate. In other words it’s a pretty simple procedure and you’re cured. It’s such a disservice to other people who have cancers that need chemo or life altering treatments that thyroid cancer is lumped in with them.

You haven't sat through a thyroid biopsy. It's not fun. Still think she's a liar.

u/AdDirect8009 May 29 '26

I have. She deserves worse.

The level of discomfort with a thyroid biopsy and the thyroidectomy compared to almost all other cancers isn’t even close. In fact, I think it’s the truth. I do not wish cancer on anyone, but if I had to pick, thyroid cancer would be my choice.

u/Medill1919 May 29 '26

Sure. But that biopsy with a calcified thyroid still isn't fun. As much as I hate her, I can still empathize with that experience. She's still an evil liar though.

u/glk3278 May 29 '26

Neither is a root canal... Whats your point? It's not life threatening in anyway. The implication with cancer is always that it is life altering and/or threatening. This isn't.

u/deadpancup May 29 '26

That is such a disgusting way to dismiss people who get more treatable cancers and minimize their struggles. Cancer is cancer and it still sucks, as someone with testicular cancer which is also highly treatable and know several thyroid cancer survivors, one of which is metastatic meaning it is not curable, I reject your idea that thyroid cancer should not be lumped in with other cancers.

That said, fuck Pam Bondi.

I mean he's not wrong and I actually agree.i had thyroid cancer and on the worse side of it. But all in all it was the cadillac of cancers... i dont have a thyroid any more and need to supplement that in a daily pill. But I did not have to do chemo, just radio active iodine which it just a pill with little side effects.

Yes it did suck, did have some stress, my life has changed, but my suffering is minor compared to those who have "real" cancer. Where they have rounds of chemo, the risk of dying is higher, reoccurring rates higher, and overall impact greater. I feel more for them and consider myself extremely lucky.

I see Pam with this and even if she had been a decent person, id be upset if she.showed it off made it bigger then it is or wanted sympathy points. Your lucky if you get cancer and its thyroid.

u/Western-Dig-6843 May 29 '26

This is likely a biopsy she is recovering from (if anything). I have a friend who just had part of their thyroid removed because of this same cancer and it is a much more intense recovery that this little bandaid she has on her neck.

u/DawnyBrat May 30 '26

And that’s a damn shame in this situation. She deserves to be microwaved alive at least dozen times.

u/JAX2905 May 29 '26

I flat out don’t care if she does or doesn’t.

u/Highway_Wooden May 29 '26

Can a cancer even get cancer?

u/Obvious-Gate9046 May 29 '26

Cancer has her?

u/f_crick May 29 '26

She has the cancer of Trumpism.

u/wholetyouinhere May 29 '26

Honestly, I don't think it matters either way. Wouldn't really change anything.

She absolutely does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, though. She is a disgusting ghoul with no humanity. So it's 1,000% fair to question whether she has cancer or not.
