Stuff like this really makes you wonder about life...how many people are out there that neglect and abuse their health on a daily basis and never have to go through having cancer? Then you have somebody like her who isn't even 30 yet and is very health conscious having to go through it now for a second time...just a total raw deal man, no other way to put it. And most people who do go through it just want to move on from it and leave it in the past but she's been very devoted to using her experience to raise awareness and help others.
I know what kind of heart Chris has & he wanted to give up in that final on Exes, so I know how hard that must've been...and she pushed through it stronger than him & everybody else on the cast for that matter. If anybody has the fortitude and resolve to go through and conquer this a second time, it's her.
Surviving cancer is not always about fortitude and resolve. Many people have those who die from the disease every day. It certainly helps to have mental strength to cope. Not really a comment on Diem or her prognosis, but an observation from having seen people with fortitude and resolve succumb to their cancers. The most constructive thing most can do if touched by this story is get themselves checked out if they have any suspicions whatsoever and otherwise join the fight to stop cancer in all its forms IMHO. A prayer for Diem every now and then might not hurt either.
Poor Diem...I will be praying for a speedy recovery for her.
Has anyone been able to read the Us Weekly magazine exclusive featuring Diem?
I noticed that it was on her twitter and tried to read it but, the scan was blurry
Is there anyway someone could post a clear magazine scan here??

I just bought magazine today. Find it kind of sad that she said CT never contacted her. I know people move on but when someone is sick it's different. His mom sent her a note though.

Which issue is the article in? Is she on the cover?
Because I must have read a different article: there was no mention of CT in the one I read.
It is a little sad that he hasn't contacted her....:sad2:
I know that they are not friends but, how hard could it be to text her or email her?
It was nice of his mother to contact her.
I hope she beats this horrible disease again.
*Prayers*
This may be just me but I seriously doubt that CT and Diem are not friends. I just don't buy that. Plus they've been through so much together. Anyway I just hope CT is not contacting her just to get back at her for the Vinny situation.

With regard to Vinny, no, that would be completely absurd. We are talking about adults here.
I'm sure there will be some outreach from CT to Diem, but it's likely to be private, and really, none of our business, until they decide we should know. JMO, of course.

What is the Vinny situation?
Back to Diem. I think it's great that she is getting so much positive energy directed her way. I hope it continues. I continue to pray for her.
[QUOTE=rdp8203;308411]It was in the paper issue that is out this week. It has William and Kate on the cover. The online story is not the same.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for that!
CT not contacting Diem: It could be for a number of reasons... I just hope that it is not out of any ill will. However, I agree with V1man: If and when CT does decide to contact her, it will probably be kept private.
I just hope she is doing all right.
And I hope she kick's this thing in it's *** again
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;308419]A few years ago, CT's brother, Vinnie was killed.[/QUOTE]
Thank you for responding. I got my Vinnies confused. I was thinking of Vinny from FM2 when I read your post. Thanks again.

Maybe he is upset about it himself and doesn't see him expressing that to be of any good; maybe he is waiting for the announcement hype to die down and plans to contact her then; who knows. So far as I can tell, Diem will wait until an egg harvest attempt before presumably beginning intensive chemo and maybe radiation. That will be when she will need support the most IMO and I would presume if not CT, then his family, could be ones to turn to for support when that happens. Either way, its their business.
In the Us Weekly magazine article, Diem says that she will have her remaining ovary removed on June 25th. This will cause her to began premature menopause. After that, she says that her chemo treatments will start sometime in July.
I agree CT could be upset about it...
There could be a lot of reasons why he hasn't reached out, and the matter of course is private.
I just hope whatever issues they had, they have forgiven each other because life is way too precious.

I agree with everything and CT does strike me as one to hold a grudge, The Awards Show, Rivals etc. I just wished he publicly reached out more.

Why publicly?
Publicly? I don't know about that. He will probably reach out to her but, even then we won't really know about it. And honestly it is really none of our business. The only reason I brought it up is because in the interview Diem said that he hadn't contacted her and I thought that was a bit odd.
IDK someone brought up the fact that they thought he hadn't made himself available to be there for her because in the past she wasn't there for him. And I REALLY hope that is not the reason.
I know they are not friends but, a part of me wants to believe that he would care enought to offer her any support should she need it.

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I’m not the biggest Diem fan but I do wish her all the best as she begins her second battle with cancer. The strength and fortitude she displayed during the finals showed that if anyone can beat this again she can. She’s already using her experiences to make MedGift better and I commend her for that.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I just don’t think it is CT’s or his family’s place to be the support she needs during this time particularly since they’ve both moved on and are in relationships with other people. Only Diem and CT know what really happened in their relationship but sometimes clean breaks are what’s best for everyone involved.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I do think Diem and CT’s mom have a special bond. On the on-air aftershow, Diem said (now I’m paraphrasing) that the reason why what CT said about his family hating her hurt her so much is because CT’s mom was/is? like a mother figure to her since her own passed away. Diem shouldn’t loss another mother just because her relationship with CT didn’t work out.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;308473]Because he's been with her at least openly I should've said[/QUOTE]
In fairness to CT, of whom I've never been a particular admirer, he has always been a private person except for those periods of time when he has been under contact to MTV or making a paid public appearance capitalizing on his MTV notoriety. He is entitled to a private life, and unless MTV wants to pay him to contact Diem in a way MTV can use for its own corporate profit, when and if he contacts her is none of our ****** business. Frankly, I regard the continuing interest in watching any interaction between the two as more than a bit voyeuristic.
Diem has an entirely different approach and agenda. She will do whatever she must to further MedGift, including openly using her second, and far more serious fight with cancer, to benefit others. It seems to me that both of them are entitled to live their lives as best suites their personalities and circumstance.
I'm hopeful that as Diem's treatment progresses, she will give us periodic updates, perhaps as interviews, that we can post going forward in this thread, and my expectation is that her commentary will be met with respect and caring from the vevmo family.
