As discussed earlier, Charlie Hodge was possibly told that Elvis had cancer due to A) Vernon trying to smoke out the leaker or B) Elvis was trying to justify his use of drugs that were only prescribed to cancer patients. Charlie Hodge very likely believed that Elvis did indeed have cancer because he was told so by either Vernon or Elvis himself....either would be very convincing.

I was in the dressing room and met 3 cancer Doctors that Elvis had flown in. Their wives were with them. This was after show Dec. 6 or 7th, 1976. I believe they were from NYC. They went in to see Elvis privately. A while later Charley came running in in a panic nervously proclaiming to me and J.D. that Elvis had sent them away and was not choosing treatment.

I don't remember the title of the film, but do remember Elvis' road manager mentioning him being riddled with bone cancer, and Vernon did not want anyone to know. Cancer was such a taboo topic even in the late 70's that I am not surprised that someone from Vernon's generation didn't want it mentioned. I well recall how the "C" word was talked about in low voices and whispered about if it ever came up in conversation. Vern must have cut himself off practically entirely from the press. The public would have been more sympathetic to Elvis' use of painkillers had they known the nature of his medical condition, and it would have been preferable to the world thinking he was just an out-and-out dope fiend. -- ----------------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher V8.0 Beta 4 Free Newsreader @ http://www.newsleecher.com/ ------------------------------- ----- ---- -- -
