Here is another doctor message screen shot she posted earlier, but has since deleted.
Notice it's about an hour after the one currently up on Twitter, seen in my other post.
Notice that this one is clearly responding to something she asked, yet she only shows the doctor's response. There's a reason for that.
It is clear to me that she was messaging the doctor in order to get responses to post to Twitter. She must have asked him something like, "So I have cancer?", even though as you can see from the doctor's response, he told her back on October 31 that she had cancer, and that the most recent information (the adenomas being cancerous) doesn't give her any new information about any new cancer found. It appears she asked something (intentionally not shown to us) in order to get the doctor to respond that she has cancer.
I now believe these messages are authentic and real, since it appears the doctor was being led to write something for later Twitter-posting.
So does that mean she's really dying? Not necessarily.
I am not a medical expert by any means. I do not know much about thyroid cancer. Therefore, I googled it and came up with this link from the American Cancer Society (the same American Cancer Society which threw her out of their hotel in 2012):
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/thyroi...val-rates.html
Localized thyroid cancer (that is, cancer of the thyroid which has not spread) has a 5-year survival rate of over 99.5%. This is across all age groups. Presumably for someone under 55, the survival rate is even higher.
Then if you read about the
stages of thyroid cancer, you see this:
Quote:
Younger people have a low likelihood of dying from differentiated (papillary or follicular) thyroid cancer. The TNM stage groupings for these cancers take this fact into account. So, all people younger than 55 years with these cancers are stage I if they have no distant spread and stage II if they have distant spread.
So that's what this appears to be. Jami has likely been dealing with early stage thyroid cancer since at least 2012, and has probably had it removed/treated more than once. It has once again returned, hence the reason for the recent surgery.
Being 43 years old, her chance of dying from this is quite low.
While clearly an unpleasant situation for someone her age, she does not appear to be dying or "fighting for her life" like she has tweeted before. She seems to simply be dealing with repeated occurrences of Stage 1 thyroid cancer, which fortunately is very treatable.
If she had just been honest about this from the start, and refrained from lying about all of these other details in an attempt to maximize donations, I'm sure her gofundme would have done fairly well, and perhaps even raised that $50k she was looking for. People in poker tend to be generous, even to those they don't know well.
Unfortunately, the embellishments and bizarre white lies were caught and called out, which made the whole thing look shady, and everyone seems to have gotten scared off.
That's my conclusion at this point, and it's close to my original feeling about this whole thing. Note I never claimed that the cancer was fake. I just believe she took a situation she's dealt with repeatedly for 11+ years, tried to embellish it for a $50k+ payday, and then got caught in various fibs and became all defensive.
And here we are.
Q.E.D, S.F.O.
