He’d definitely have a different story to hers …And the journo needs to contact the ex husband
Ill ask the mods to change the title of this one to start with Kate Malvenan and then have it tagged and start #2.I don’t know how to start a new thread but was wondering how everybody felt about a straightforward title for the next one? Now that her last name has been confirmed it’s probably good to include that.
Maybe just: Kate Malvenan #2 - its_not_kates_time ?
Daaammmmmnnn. So Kate’s an alcoholic? Makes sense of why she’s always making excuses for drinking when she’s supposed to be living a non-toxic life. Great find, @KrittyKat!He’d definitely have a different story to hers …
WILD. Completely wildDaaammmmmnnn. So Kate’s an alcoholic? Makes sense of why she’s always making excuses for drinking when she’s supposed to be living a non-toxic life. Great find, @KrittyKat!
Wowza. I want to know why he has no contact with his daughter tho.He’d definitely have a different story to hers …
Omg! I am living for your posts today! Yes. Yes they would...So ... just asking questions .......would someone who has studied film makeup know how to use make up to make bruises? or scars ?
I hate this so much, implies that sufferers of cancer have contributed to their condition by not processing their feelings, and also is a big old guilt trip to anyone who has made them sad..
Oh - and I think that the story about her ex fits nicely into her narrative that emotions cause cancer - and that her lung cancer was caused by her suppressed grief at the breakdown of her marriage.
I fell down the rabbit hole of reading all his Threads posts. One of them:Wowza. I want to know why he has no contact with his daughter tho.
So he's also a flog. Wear a condom if you dont want a kid. Sure its not 100% foolproof but if a woman says she's on the pill (also not 100% foolproof) and she isnt then at least you know you are trying your hardest not to have a kid. But he obviously preferred to raw dog it so now he has a kid he takes no responsibility for. EntrapmentI fell down the rabbit hole of reading all his Threads posts. One of them:
"Here’s a thought. Given that vasectomies are now reversible, why aren’t they actively promoted to young men to ensure they actually make a informed choice about while they get pregnant and when, would sure fix the entrapment racket them women have perfected over oh I dunno, the last 500yrs."
This is so interesting. Chat GPT knowsThis is Kate's original diagnosed cancer type - treatable, not curable ie ..bluntly ... it will ultimately kill her/she'll die of it ...
BUT ..... if someone where to decide to fake cancer, Metastatic ALK-Rearrangement Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, like Kate had/has, is certainly one that has a long life expectancy .... just saying ..... I'm not a Doctor, after all ... and the same can be said for the T4NxM1c (Stage IVB) Adenocarcinoma that she was diagnosed with in 2023 ....
Is Metastatic ALK-Rearrangement Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Curable?
No, metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC is not considered curable, but it is highly treatable, and many patients live for years with modern targeted therapies. Unlike other stage 4 lung cancers, ALK-positive NSCLC responds exceptionally well to ALK inhibitors, significantly extending survival.
1. Why Isn’t It Considered Curable?
Metastatic (stage 4) lung cancer means that the cancer has spread beyond the lungs (e.g., to the brain, liver, bones, or lymph nodes).
2. Can Long-Term Remission Be Achieved?
- In stage 4 cancer, even if the visible tumors shrink or disappear, microscopic cancer cells usually remain somewhere in the body, leading to eventual recurrence.
- No current treatment eliminates all ALK-positive cancer cells permanently.
Yes, some patients achieve long-term remission (No Evidence of Disease – NED), but this is not the same as a cure because the cancer can eventually return.
ALK inhibitors (like alectinib, brigatinib, lorlatinib) can control the disease for many years.
Some patients live 8-10+ years with treatment, but the cancer almost always develops resistance at some point.
3. How Do ALK-Positive NSCLC Patients Live Longer Than Other Stage 4 Lung Cancer Patients?
ALK inhibitors (targeted therapy) work extremely well, often shrinking tumors by 50-80% and keeping the disease stable for years.
Newer ALK inhibitors (like lorlatinib) help overcome resistance, giving patients multiple lines of treatment.
Radiation (SRS) for brain metastases + ALK inhibitors can keep the disease under control for longer.
4. What Could Lead to a Cure in the Future?
5. Final Verdict: Treatable but Not Curable
- Next-generation ALK inhibitors that delay or prevent resistance.
- Combination therapies (e.g., ALK inhibitors + immunotherapy or chemotherapy).
- Early-stage detection before metastasis occurs.
Metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC is NOT curable with current treatments.
However, it is one of the most treatable forms of stage 4 lung cancer, with some patients surviving 8-10+ years.
Ongoing research may eventually lead to a cure, but for now, the goal is long-term disease control and quality of life.
In addition
Many ALK+ patients stay in NED for 3-5 years on Alectinib alone.
With multiple ALK inhibitors and careful treatment, some patients reach 8-10+ years of survival.
NED is not the same as a cure, but long-term survival is possible.
Regular scans and molecular testing help doctors switch treatments before major progression occurs.
That’s super interesting. If her type of cancer is known to be survivable for years with targeted therapy how come she was claiming doctors told her she only had 6 months to live I wonder.? She mentions this a lot.This is Kate's original diagnosed cancer type - treatable, not curable ie ..bluntly ... it will ultimately kill her/she'll die of it ...
