AFTER being told her cancer had returned with a vengeance, a devastated PENNY MARSHALL has given up on following doctors’ orders, say sources.
“Unless someone convinces her to keep fighting, Penny will not make it much longer,” revealed a family insider. “Doctors are giving her only six months to live without treatment.”
The 69-year-old comedy star and director had gone into remission from lung and brain cancer, but the source says she recently received the heartbreaking news that physicians found a large mass on her brain.
“Penny vows she will not go through what she did before,” confided the insider.
“There is pressure on her brain, and it’s starting to make her slur her words. It’s also affecting her reasoning, so surgeons need to operate as soon as possible.
“But Penny said she’ll never go through surgery, radiation and chemotherapy again.
