Acticle on George from Launch.com

[SF4-EVER]

I can't open the "Latest News on George" topic in Crackerbox Palace at the moment, so I'm posting this here. Since this article contradicts part of what was reported earlier, I'm hoping the entire story of George being re-hospitalized for treatment is untrue. -- Sandra

George Harrison has reportedly entered a New York-area hospital for further cancer treatment. The Daily Telegraph reports that the former Beatle was admitted to the Staten Island University Hospital under the supervision of Dr. Gil Lederman, who is known for his pioneering treatment of advanced cancer patients.

The newspaper quoted hospital sources as saying Harrison was admitted under the name George Arrias, using his wife Olivia's maiden name. A source was also quoted as describing Harrison as "very frail and gaunt." Harrison was treated for a brain tumor earlier this year and had previously been treated for lung and throat cancer.

In a patient inquiry to the hospital, LAUNCH found no one admitted under the name of Arrias, or Harrison for that matter , and a hospital spokesperson could not confirm or deny if Harrison has indeed been admitted as a patient. However, Dr. Lederman is, in fact, a practicing oncologist at the hospital.

Calls to Harrison's publicist were not returned as of press time.

I couldn't get into the other topic either.

I read the same news in the paper here today and it also had details about this special treatment and how it was George's "last chance" at beating the cancer.
What to believe?????? I know I hope like mad that it isn't true but I have to tell you, I'm getting scared http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

I read a similar article yesterday. I hope it's not as bad as it appears to be.

Don't know what happened to the topic at our Palace yet.

Anyways, it is Arias, not Arrias.

And there is additional info on this at abbey road's newspage

As said at Crackerbox Palace, I believe no need to worry other than what we know about his health and try to get the best news resource.

These news articles are mainly journalists at work. See someone in hospital and think the worst.

....Actually..I believe this last chance thing...because I have been getting several topics about it in my Paul-List thing, and well..I dont mean to be cold-hearted..hes human, hes not god, he'll die someday like the rest of us, he wont live forever but his spirit and his songs will..he will be truely missed in this household if he did die...

So Pray for George daily and light a white candle and say "Hare Krishna" outloud, scream it, like 4 times, thats what someone told me to do ..and i've been doing it

Like everyone I don't know if we should trust the media.However,when I heard the news today about George on the radio,I got a sad "sickning" feeling that you get when you realize that "All hope may be gone". I don't want to accept the possibility he may be in a really bad way. For some reason,this is the first time(after all the things he's been through lately)when I've felt this way. I won't push my beliefs or religion on you people,but,if you believe in the "POWER" of prayer,I'm sure George could use them more than ever.

Here's a LINK (http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/abc/20011108/en/harrison011108_1.html) to another story from ABCnews.com about George, but it doesn't add anything new. The topic at Crackerbox Palace is open again, but I'll leave this one open for a while yet anyway.
