Tammy Faye Messner's Cancer Treatments Stop, Weight Down to Just 65 Pounds
Thursday, May 10, 2007

Tammy Faye Messner

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —  Former televangelist  said doctors have stopped treating her cancer and that her weight has dropped to 65 pounds.

In a letter posted Tuesday on her Web site, Messner thanked her "faithful friends" for sending her flowers, cards and gifts as she battles cancer for a third time. The 65-year-old Charlotte resident was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996, and she announced in 2004 that the disease had spread to her lungs.

"The doctors have stopped trying to treat the cancer and so now it's up to God and my faith. And that's enough!" she wrote.

Messner said her daughter and her daughter's friends were taking care of her while her husband, Roe Messner, builds churches. He had no comment on his wife's condition, said a woman who answered the phone Wednesday at his business.

Messner has frequently spoken about her medical problems, saying she hoped to be an inspiration to others. Letters, including updates on her health, have been posted every few months on her Web site.


"I am down weight-wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow. I need God's miracle to swallow," she said in her latest posting. "I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of 'feeling great.'"

Messner divorced Jim Bakker in 1992, while he was serving a sentence for financial fraud. The pair founded a Christian retreat in Fort Mill, S.C., and built a multimillion-dollar evangelism empire.

I have lost several people in my life to cancer.  It is not a plesant way to die. I feel sorry for her and her family.  I hope the end comes quickly and peacefully.

With that much weight loss, she'll be mercifully gone within a week. Cancer is a lousy way to go :(

My mom had stage three ovarian cancer which spread to her main vein of her heart causing a massive heart attack which killed her

Dying of any cancer is a horrorable way to die and watching one dying from cancer is even worse for the family cause there is nothing they can do but give some comfort to the dying

So yes i know how her family feels

Very true LC but no amount of money can give her back her health now. Awful way to go.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

Valid point.  It is so sad that so many of these types..not just Jim and Tammy Faye, took such advantage of peoples faith and beliefs. Con artists are what they are.

At 65 pounds I'm amazed she can even walk, she has some will to live I would say.
