Gilda Radner & Gene Wilder @ Connie Chung

[@msdarby515]

One day, New York circa 2005ish, I was in line at a deli and I spotted Gene Wilder in line in front of me. I am not someone who gets star struck but I am an enormous Gilda fan and, well, seriously, this was Willy Wonka! I was dying to tell him how wonderful I thought he was, but mostly I had about a thousand questions about Gilda that I wanted to ask. Lucky for him I'm too shy to approach anyone like that. Based on his interaction with the clerk he was a regular at this deli. The clerk asked him something along the lines of, "you have a big day planned?" Gene replied, "Just heading up to visit Gilda." and I thought that was amazing. Gilda passed away 15 years before that and he was still visiting her grave. True love.

Very true. Ovarian cancer was on the radar.

[@nancydenick1875]

Her biography was excellent. One thing it really brought to light is that many male doctors don't take women's health complaints seriously. She saw a bunch of drs before one did a CBC. That is seriously a flawed mindset that women are neurotic and are imagining symptoms.

[@farleyboy6445]

It's so true that doctors sometimes do NOT listen to their patients. Poor Gilda knew she was sick and they wouldn't listen to her. This was not all that long ago when women were still not taken seriously, even women with influence like Gilda.

[@SuperSimmerGal]

Made all the more poignant by what Gene says in this interview about them asking her what she was afraid of ("that I have cancer"). Hearing that just makes my heart ache all the more for both of them! :(

Sadly, too many doctors don't take women seriously. My gf had a 21 centimeter ovarian tumor and was misdiagnosed THREE times before they finally did an ultrasound. First she was just "tired and stressed", then it was Crohn's disease. Finally she was correctly diagnosed, but they couldn't say whether it was cancer for another month until the surgery. The stress was intense while we waited and saw other docs who blamed HER for not getting PAP smears. Luckily, it was benign but she lost an ovary. I kept thinking of Gilda's story, which was eerily similar in terms of misdiagnosis and being brushed off by doctors. Her book was really terrifying but very touching and informative.

I’m very sorry to hear about the strenuous process your girlfriend and you had endure. Such stressful times :/ How is she doing now? My stepmom couldn’t eat or drink and had some headaches and stomachache so she went to ER and got X rays to which she was sent home. A second ER visit with persistence from our family to give her a scab of her esophagus was able to have doctors detect a mass with a 95% likelihood of stomach cancer. Took them 3 diagnoses with 3 doctors within three months to finally confirm. By that time, her symptoms worsened and time seemed to be running out. Her cancer spread to her lymph nodes and ovaries and back. Her feeding tube soon became infected which caused her belly to be severely infected and enflamed to which chemotherapy was discontinued recently. My family and I are finding alternatives ourselves to treat the infection and cancer. We are praying and hopeful everyday for her recovery 🙏🏼

[@crashburn3292]

Today on Utube I read a comment by some young person who said, "Who the f*ck is Gilda Radner?" I felt sorry for that idiot.

[@griffinmathers929]

Well, part of being a human being and not a bitter sad sack is understanding that we are all different. We all have different heroes and enjoy different entertainers. Gilda was and is a comedy icon, but unfortunately, most of what she did was on SNL, and NBC is notoriously stingy with allowing clips from their show. She died when I was 20, and I had seen her on SNL, remember some of her stuff like it was yesterday, but then I think, how do I remember when I always had to go to bed before SNL came on? :) So I don't even know how I got to see her, but I'm really glad I did. Being funny saved my life, pretty literally, in the years I was bullied, and I feel like I knew I was funny or that I could be, largely because of women like Gilda who just would go to the outer reaches of sanity and come back with hilarity.

Gene is such a genius when he describes his wife(Gilda Radner) and how she raised awareness about ovarian cancer. When he says, "I just wish that Gilda herself had been one of the people who had read about, "Gilda's disease" and could have benefited from it!!!", this just goes to show how in tune Wilder is. WOW, just WOW Gene!!! I hope the two of you are happy on the other side and enjoying your new journeys and hopefully together and in beautiful harmony. All of my love to two very bright souls who repeatedly made me laugh, in fact I think Radner was the first female comic who made me laugh out loud, and after that the barre was set very high. What a shame to have lost them both now but I am so thankful to have KZbin these days so we have their work(and so many others) to look back on for posterity. R.I.P.

My ex went through something similar. She felt tired, moody & foggy in the head...lots of bloating & eventually she had to pull over to vomit one day. Twice the doctors told her it was either just depression or Crohn's disease (which she doesn't have). On the third try, they found a 22cm tumor on her ovary. Thankfully it wasn't cancerous, but Gilda's book kept swirling in my mind during the whole ordeal. I was convinced she was dying. She lost her ovary but thankfully that was all. Doctors need to take women's symptoms seriously & be thorough with their diagnostic tests.

No one in the gene pool is completely immune to cancer risk and I'll put it this way...there are many in my family with kidney issues but I'm happy to be here and living the best life that I can even knowing I may be ill in the future than not to be here at all.

[@blueberrycobbler]

Ladies, if you ever have the symptoms indicated in the video (check any reputable medical site online for a list of symptoms), just ask for a pelvic exam - to feel your ovaries - and a transvaginal ultrasound at the very least. They place a wand (for the lack of a better word) into the vagina to view your ovaries. It's safe and painless. I've had it done when I had ovarian cyst problems in the past.The CA-125 blood test, by itself, is not a good indicator of the presence of ovarian cancer, because it can result in false positives due to other conditions, especially in premenopausal women. It's generally ordered for ovarian cancer patients to detect disease response to treatment or reoccurrence. However, it may be requested by your doctor if a pelvic exam, ultrasound or other imaging tests that may be performed show the need for it.

I had ovarian cancer Stage II C in 1999 - 2000. I was out of work for a year. I found out when I found a lump in my pubic area and asked my Tui Na practitioner what it was. He said it was a tumor and that I needed to have it looked at right away. Because of persistence and grace, two weeks later I was getting a hysterectomy. Next, I got chemotherapy. My doctor said, "You have a chance if you can get through the first three rounds with only three weeks in between." I did it. I also was told that exercising at least 1/2 hour every day would help the odds. I walked and did Chi Gong for ovarian cancer and did homeopathy with the doctor of the President of India and took herbs and had psychotherapy and went to a spiritual healer and my brothers came out to stay with me. There are many tales that could be told, but all that is necessary is I survived.

My best friend died of ovarian cancer after 2 years. The only sign she had was bloating in the stomach area. Her clothes would not fit her anymore. She ended up having surgery where they removed her female organs and scrapped every lining clean. Yet she still died at a young age to me. 6 months before she died we went to Scotland and Ireland and she climbed Blarney castle and toured a lot of castles and seemed fine as he PSA was under 35. Then we got home and her count keep climbing. I visited with her all thew time but then 5 months later and noticed her eyelid was really drooping but she thought it was and infection. But then started to forget words. So I contacted her adult daughter who took her to a doctor and then a hospital where they discovered she had a brain aneurysm , so they did surgery and found out the her ovarian cancer had spread to her brain and she died 4 weeks later. Still today I miss her so much. I had her read Gilda's book "its always something" And she enjoyed it but thought she had beat it. Very bad disease.

We know even more now than we knew in the 80's and the 90's especially in families that carry the gene that predisposes them to having ovarian and breast cancer. Sweet Gilda's death brought about a huge awareness of this deadly disease. Families that carry the gene can be monitored and even have surgery before it has a chance to develop. Angelina Jolie is a prime example of this.

Regarding ovarian cancer, 3 tests women should get: Pelvic exam, sonogram, and blood test CA 125. Anything else, in addition, or anything different, since this interview took place?

I had a friend who died of it at 26. She had just gotten married and she started to get sick on their honeymoon. She thought she was pregnant. The saddest funeral i have ever been to. Her mother who also was dying had to come by ambulance on a strecher. She wanted to be there. Her sister jumped on her casket (closed) and cried my baby my baby. She was the youngest. I saw men taking off. This happened around the same time Gilda past away.
