    Supposedly bone cancer..

    maybe a secret because they would be asked how long it was known that she was dying and was it not in the public interest to know…

    It’s not a secret, it’s private. The public don’t need to know.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭85603


    Got a letter from welfare looking for proof she was seeking work.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,172 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    The rumour is cancer but in any event she was 96, geriatric ailments take a toll.

    I do think that come the worst of Britain's winter. When energy costs, flu, covid and the choice to heat or eat start taking a toll...

    That the cause of death will be trotted out and the Plebs will be be reminded that her Maj worked up to the day before she died 🤷‍♂️ So however hard the public has it, her Maj worked for the glory of the UK until she pegged it. The least the Plebs can do is keep calm and carry on.

    So said Plebs will shut up, put on a second jumper and boil their shoes a bit longer before eating them.

    **** show of performative mourning and anachronistic pageantry that does nothing for the people.

    I’m always amused by people who puzzle over the death of someone in their 90s+.

    These are the people who simply don’t accept that they themselves are ever going to die, and more then that, they fully expect that they will never have to deal with the death of a loved one.

    How did this happen?

    Which Queen?

    If you mean Queen Elisabeth she was 96. I hate to break it to people but we are all going to die sometime.

    I’m a person fascinated by science, so I’m naturally curious as to what finally caused her to pop her clogs, never mind she was of a certain age where it’s kind of on the cards. I’m guessing that if the alleged cancer hadn’t hit her she might, like her mother, have lived a lifespan 100+. But was it primary or secondary bone cancer, that’s where my curiosity would lie. Probably primary, but if it were secondary the primary would most likely have been breast cancer, and goodness knows if she ever had a mastectomy, which can be done these days as an overnight case. Bone cancer is extremely painful, and causes hypercalcaemia with its kidney damage, so renal failure can be cause of death or else pneumonia with se o diaries on the lung.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,367 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    She died of death, no mystery . Age gets us all in the end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Acute late onset ancientosis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭spakman


    It's really none of your business how much pain she was in, or whether her kidneys were functioning.

    a massive cocaine binge. If you live to 96 you'll throw caution to the wind too...

    Theres another cancer of the bone marrow/blood that the Queen could have died from, the same as the late wife of former CMO Dr Tony Holohan, Myeloma. It often results in fatal kidney failure as the resulting light chains build up in the tubules. This is often a prolonged illness before being fatal. Other possibilities relating to bones are various other forms of blood cancer like Waldenström’s macroglobinaemus, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/lymphoma etc. These are usually present many years before proving fatal in conjunction with other complications. The Queen Mother eventually died from bone marrow failure, albeit at a great age. It’s likely the Queen suffered kidney failure in the end, and often the final result is an acute stroke. All would explain how she was up and about enough to meet Liz Truss two days before. She probably went to bed and was found unresponsive in the morning on the day she died.

    Was hardly a skydiving accident, now was it?

    At 96 everyone has cancer

    Not that the cancer kills them all, lots of other health risks from being almost a century old

    Oh, and we all know deep down that she actually died of embarrassment knowing that Liz Truss was the new Prime minister after Johnson finally resigned

    To begin with Churchill and Attlee and end with Johnson and Truss.... How truly soul destroying that must be for a 70-year head of state...

    Being 96.

    My gran was 97 when she died - I just assumed it was old age. Has something been kept secret from me?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 27,467 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    Jesus bone cancer is an awful bugger. If that's true she must have been in a lot of pain. I hope they had her on the good stuff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,477 ✭✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    It was Harry and Meghan wot did it...



  • Posts: 24,207 ✭✭✭✭ Jayden Scary Hotel


    Everyone does of something even in old age, though as long as murder isn’t suspected the autopsy is most often left out. Very often it will be the delayed result of a fall, as happened with two of my mother’s cousins, one age 99, the other 102. The 99 year old said she was fine after the fall, went to bed, turned out a brain haemorrhage had started and she died extremely peacefully.

    Well, that a number people are interested in the death of the UK's Queen and about half-a-dozen people will be interested in the death of Michael D says a lot . . .
