Never thought about freezing her eggs and the film follows her to an OBGYN and not to any oncologists? Would any OBGYN prescribe fertility hormones to a woman who was on "hormone blockers for five years." In one "interview" with Peter Holmes,she claims she began the hormone blockers a year after surgery. To Curve Magazine she began hormone therapy for cancer 'immediately" after surgery. In one, it's a year later. To Larry King(omg) it's two years later??? To an English Journalist it's radiotherapy.

Any nurses or doctors here who might know if anyone can take both hormone blockers and fertility hormones, at the same time?

someone treated for early stage breast cancer that is fed by estrogen ("estrogen receptor positive") is typically given an estrogen blocker (tamoxifen) for five years following their initial treatment.

all cases are different, but apparently some womens' doctors don't see an issue with these women going on to have kids:

Question: Does pregnancy increase the risk of recurrence or a new primary tumor for someone with a history of ER positive breast cancer? Since estrogen levels rise steadily during pregnancy, will such a hormonal stimulation trigger cancer cell growth as well?

Dr. Ginsburg: There is no evidence that recurrence of breast cancer is higher during or after pregnancy for ER positive or negative breast cancer. There are, however, no randomized studies of this. It is possible that women who do become pregnant are in some way different than women who do not. In any case, the evidence is that if your oncologist says it’s OK for you to become pregnant, the risk of recurrence is not higher.

I have Stage 4 breast cancer (it spread to my spine when it was found). you would not guess I have cancer--I am not on chemo--my cancer is estrogen receptor positive so my treatment is antihormonal (similar to Ms. Tig's). Key difference is I am on treatment for life. I have been on two treatments similar to TN's. Both failed after a couple years. When the current one fails I will be on chemo pretty much for life, however much that life is. I continue to work full time--not everyone with Stage IV cancer can. One issue w/breast cancer is we don't know which tumors are harmless and which would never do anything. So everything is treated. About 75% of those treated for early stage breast cancer are fine. But for 25%, their cancer will come back, having spread beyond the breast and thus incurable. We don't know why cancer recurs.

tl:dr Not looking sick doesn't mean you aren't...

I don't know who this lez is but I find the periodic DL threads about her fascinating.

I looked her up and I've seen short clips of her in some things that I have seen linked here in the past. I remember watching something with her and Sarah Silverman in it, some sitcom Silverman was trying to make happen which didn't (surprise!).

I really am fascinated by the rare-breed of "famous" non-famous people. People who are apparently well known in New York or, more commonly, LA and who get periodic C-list exposure, yet they seem to endure without ever breaking out in anything close to mainstream. I wonder if they make their living this way. Is this Tig chick well off? What does she do to pay the bills? Is she actually 'famous' enough in L.A. to have a nice lifestyle?

How does someone so unknown get a documentary produced about her? Does she have money, or is she somehow, in some unexplainable way so famous that 99.99% of the world just haven't heard of her yet she's known enough to be huge with a very small percentage of people who'll pay to see her?

Fame, and the varying levels of it is both complex and fascinating.

1)Get After Ellen and other gay publications to have interest and raise her profile. Same reason she constantly promotes herself here.

2)To supply a mastectomy scar witness since there was a lot of buzz about her lying about having cancer.

She has very savvy PR people working for her, and they think her professing that she's getting married and having a baby will help launch her to stardom. Getting famous is what this woman thinks about 24 hours a day. She seriously thinks she's very famous already. Very crazy, actually.

it is possible (not necessarily always advisable) to have a baby after completing treatment for early stage breast cancer. Someone IN treatment (including 5 years of post tx Tamoxifen) to the best of my knowledge, would be ill advised to be getting concurrent fertility treatments. I am not sure that is even possible: tamoxifen is an estrogen blocker. The point of taking it is to lower the estrogen level (if that is what fueled the cancer's growth). Fertility treatments would, in all likelihood, raise the estrogen level. Again, if you had FINISHED w/the prescribed number of years for Tamoxifin, you could consider pregnancy. But not DURING treatment....

by Anonymousreply 44February 8, 2015 6:40 PM

I would guess she chose not to take tamoxifin for five years. Tamoxifin can give some people menopausal like symptomps--hot flashes, etc. etc. Some people can't tolerate it and elect to stop taking it. In general, if you can stay on it for 5 yrs (or as your oncologist recommends) it is best to do so. It doesn't guarantee the cancer won't come back but it has been shown to reduce risk.

Having a double mastectomy unfortunately also does not guarantee cancer can't come back--the best surgeon in the world can't remove all breast tissue; cancer can come back in the scar tissue. This is relatively rare, happening maybe in 5% of cases.

Median age for a US woman w/breast cancer is 61. Having breast cancer at an early age (under 40) can sometimes represent an aggressive cancer.

[quote]To recap: In the span of four months, she was hospitalized with a rare bacterial infection called Clostridium difficile colitis, her mother died suddenly, she and her girlfriend broke up and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. As it turns out, the bad news didn’t end there. Eager to have a child of her own — and extend the bloodline of her late mother — Notaro began investigating fertility treatments. But doctors told her that if she underwent the hormone therapy necessary for in vitro fertilization, there was a chance her cancer might return. And if it did, this time it would be incurable. Oh, and Notaro, now 43, was also falling in love. With a woman who said she was only interested in men.

Years ago a freelance writer friend of mine interviewed TN for a local publication. After the interview was done, he got an email from someone identifying herself as Tig's manager asking that the comments on the online story be turned off because Tig had "stalkers."

He told her that as a freelancer, he had no control over that, and suggested she get in touch with the online publication.

What followed was a couple of crazy, upset emails from the "manager" (he's still not certain it wasn't Tig herself), and, yes, a bunch of equally crazy comments on the online story.

I'm not one who thinks every lesbian is a drama dyke, but TN seems to be the shining star by which all others are measured.

r30, there was no report of a five-year post cancer treatment in the documentary. That doesn't mean Tig wasn't doing it.

There was only a report of cancer being successfully eliminated from Tig's system, and her cancer nurses warn her not to try having a baby because it increases the chance of cancer returning.

It's Tig, I don't think she keeps anything quiet. The doc exposes everything she has tried to do so far.

Allyne did not become Tig's girlfriend until well after Tig underwent hormone treatment, successfully froze one egg and tried to have the baby on her own. Tig and Allyne were not engaged when the documentary was made.

So maybe Allyne is willing to carry the baby now. You'd have to ask her.

Tig froze her own egg, fertilized it with the sperm of a male, childhood friend and then tried to get the embryo to take in her own uterus. But it failed.

I don't know anything about a Pyle. I don't know anything about anyone's financial situation but I doubt this is all a hoax.

She has a shady guy named Hunter Seidman representing her. He began representing her after Heidi Feigin(From UTA) dropped her and was set to testify against her at a trial that was caused by Tig Notaro's serious mental disturbances and Notaro's friendship with Nick Kroll. Kroll got her hooked up with Cosby's lawyers and soon she was able to pretend she had stalkers for years. Very complicated story, but basically she is a very sick and evil woman who deeply enjoyed falsely accusing and then punishing total strangers.

Wow, r33. Sour grapes?

People on this thread don't seem to know that stand-up comedy is a real career.

Most comedy club audiences are straight, I guess. Maybe the stereotype is true that lesbians are usually humorless, hence the lack of awareness about comedy as a living.

But comics get steady work touring bars, clubs, college campuses and other gigs all across the world, not usually network TV or films.

They tour city-to-city, on the road, just like bands.

Most of them aren't household names and never get an ubiquitous show. But they can make a living.

The documentary shows that Tig has a nice house in California.

Tig co-produced the documentary herself, like many celebrities do. But she got fame and selected by Sundance because of her fearless approach to cancer and handling it on-stage, in her act.

Louis C.K. is a bit of a kingmaker in her case. He brought her all kinds of publicity via social media when he heard Tig perform a daring standup routine about cancer the same week she found out she had it.

Louis C.K. is seen by fans and critics as the best standup comic these days, so the compliments meant a lot to everybody in the know coming from him.

That's Spitzberg's fatal flaw. She's actually HELPING Tig become more famous and be seen as more of a sympathetic victim being harassed by this crazy stalker. If Alisa was smart and just shut up, Tig would fade away into lesbian obscurity.

R74 Thanks for posting the link to that show of Tig's. I guess you had to be there to find that show "legendary"?

If a major newspaper is doing articles about her, I don't think this stalker has much effect on whether or not she fades into obscurity.

Tig Notaro has faded away into obscurity despite massive efforts to become famous. She hires Lavely and Singer to take DL threads down and she harasses journalists and begging them to shut down comments sections.

Every shred of publicity she has gotten is because she is on top of Nick Kroll's "list." Absent his creepy ambitions, she'd never get one write up.

She had to cancel tours and shows for lack of interest from the public. She now has had to make desperate cover up documentaries and present some show where she allegedly gets naked...

So she wants to post these DL promos and do all sorts of yucky PR stunts and she expects what?

Everyone with half a brain knows that Notaro not only didn't have a stalker but that she took extremely sick measures to keep the pretense up.

Tig, where did Ira Glass, Terry Gross, and Louis CK go? What about EW and that Web Series. How long do you think these scams and lies are going to last?

R78 Major newspapers cover her because she is on a "list" that Nick Kroll submits to these outlets.

The Kroll Group is extremely influential and they offer many freelancers lucrative positions if they play along. Google Kroll Atlantic or Kroll Grantland atlantic.

Not on article about Notaro comes from any organic fandom or fame. It's hard to easily buy, but it's the truth. Nick Kroll is slowly running out of those who will do such favors, and when that dries up so do these two and a few others that rely on this "fake it till you make it" theory of success.

Tig, don't you think everyone notices that you show up here, a minute after anyone mentions you? Only you would know you were being discussed. get away from those google alerts for a while, and focus on trying to convince Stephanie Allyne to bear that baby. having babies is a great way to get PR, as you know.

Ah, it's the Kroll Troll.

R77, it was only legendary in the sense of how fake was the publicity surrounding it. Since I am sure this "Tig" never had cancer it should be legendary soon as the biggest cancer scam in history. Notaro claims she made a half a million from downloads so that is the biggest cancer scam in history.

These same outlets basically rubber stamp PR releases brought to them. Notaro fears any real questions or any truth coming out. This is why she annoyed the Willamette Week a few months back.

I'm pretty sure Notaro is transitioning and expect her to show off her full beard soon, LADIES.

Whomever this bitch is, she's got a serious hate-fan on DL.

I read a rave review of one of her concerts in the NYTimes. I know nothing else about TN but it does appear that the poster(s) with all the dirt on her is cray cray. Honestly, who cares if someone lies about cancer in a stand up routine as long as they're funny/insightful.

Its only the one crazy failed comedian dyke who is completely fixated on her, R83. Alisa Spitzberg (R82 et al). She's more nuts than the Clooney Loon. Very boring, paranoid and repetitive.

I never knew who Tig or Nick Kroll were until DataLounge was bombarded with her endless rants. Its been going on for years and years and years.

Tig Notaro is a prime example of - don't be a liar if you are too stupid to remember your lies from day to day.

She can't even remember that she lied about freezing eggs now. She can't even remember that she told four press outlets that she has been on hormone blockers since her surgery or a year later or two years later... She can't remember that she told Claire Black of the Independant she was exhausted due to radiation treatment.

she couldn't remember if she was beaten inside or outside a packed coffee shop, in the "stalking" case. She forgot that she didn't have any roommates when she listed three comedians as living with her. She forgot to tell her agent Heidi Feigin to remember how Notaro was attacked either after the show or before the show or during the show. Luckily, Ms. Feigin remembered no attack or anything at all. She forgot that the Improv had no side door before telling police she had to slither into one to escape her stalkers. So much more she forgot and was able to get away with because she somehow slithered onto Kroll's "list."

She misremembered absolutely every line in her complaints to courts and police and no one held her accountable because Nick Kroll was able to make some very impressive phone calls. He looks like a hapless loser but truth is he is incredibly connected in the legal system, Hollywood, Washington. One phone call from him and Notaro was able to win all rulings when she should, by law, have lost every single one. If any law was followed she'd have been prosecuted for a long list of crimes she and kroll had committed in the "stalking" case.

Half wits should not decide to live a life of pathological lying.

Tig is pretending to be all sorts of indifferent people in order to somehow save herself. I wonder why Marty Singer's threat letters to DL have stopped, or have they just stopped working?

"Who cares if she lied about Cancer" It Notaro hopes this will be the sentiment expressed when she finally is outed.

R86 thanks for posting that. do you really think it helps Notaro? Do you really think anyone would buy that anyone would stalk notaro much less a sister duo?

by Anonymousreply 88February 9, 2015 12:32 PM

R83, they were shut down because Notaro got Cosby's lawyers to write threat letters. Datalounge likely couldn't handle Marty Singer, whether they knew the facts or not.

You are Notaro so you know that. And you know Alisa never was a fan of your and her "hate" is purely because of what you did.

Now, go pretend to get your pretend girlfriend pregnant so you can get the PR machine to launch you to superstardom. Any day now. Any day.

You haven't answered any of the very valid questions asked of you. Why is that?

R22 but she says it never occurred to her to freeze eggs before "treatment" So is she saying she's on hormone blockers at the same time as IVF treatments?

Vulture: You said in the documentary that before you got cancer, you were about to try having a kid. Was there not a chance to do egg extraction before you went into treatment?

Notaro: It didn’t even dawn on me to do that. I just thought I was going to carry the child. So that was what my plan was, and what I was moving towards, and then I had to scramble to figure out how to do this. It didn’t dawn on me ever that I wouldn’t be able to carry a child.

r90 just don't read the thread if you find it so distressing to you. I do think it's interesting how this poor man's Brian William's is operating and how she seems to keep getting away with it. a cancer scam where Ira Glass and Terry Gross are involved is of interest.

I know that quite a few people do find these scam artist stories of interest.

"our board"? speak for yourself, creep.

by Anonymousreply 94February 9, 2015 1:08 PM

Notaro,if you don't want negative opinions about yourself expressed here why do you keep posting PR here? Don't do that, and you won't get these negative replies.

And it's done so pathetically... "Hands of Ladies DL Fave.." I mean do you seriously think DL is impressed that you got yourself a fake engagement going with a UCB performer, after Missy Pyle backed out of the deal...

And do you think anyone of sound mind thinks it is cool that you and the Lynn and Jules Kroll foundation for Documentaries funded some insane cover up/vanity project named, "Tig."

Go promote yourself to the frau suckers who buy your bullshit. You still haven't been jailed, appreciate that and stop trying to sell your insane self for just one day.

I wish the anti-Tig troll had a Tumblr account so her conspiracy theories could become memes and copypasta. They deserve better than this board.

by Anonymousreply 96February 10, 2015 4:57 PM

Live standup gigs don't always have a camera crew recording, much less a distribution machine for the acts.

Largo in L.A., where Notaro did her famous performance, doesn't even allow video in order to protect its market, like a lot of clubs, which is why only an audio recording of that set is available.

Why does Tig or the documentary have to humiliate her with mastectomy nudity?

A NEW YORKER reporter caught a show where Tig's chest flash was apparently improvised due to audience behavior, not a regular part of her schtick.

Is THE NEW YORKER lying? Does Tig control THE NEW YORKER, too?

YES, the documentary shows her meeting with nurses and doctors, whose names and faces are revealed, at the cancer clinics as well as the fertility clinics.

The Inquisitor here just needs to see the documentary him or herself.

Then I'm sure all info will be dismissed to fit the Inquisitor's own conspiracy theories.

Yeah there's no way to communicate or have a discussion with Alisa Spitzberg and try to get her to realise that she's only harming herself at this point. She'll just ignore what you're saying or say that you're Tig or Nick Kroll or whoever else is a part of the 'conspiracy'.

What a sad life she has, sitting on the computer all day for YEARS AND YEARS (since 2007!), looking for any mention of these d-grade unfunny comedians, so she can post and post and post until the thread has to get deleted so she'll stop the endless noise. Alisa, calm down and take your meds. Tig isn't worth this obsession. This has been going on for nearly 10 years now. Is it really worth it? Work on your comedy, focus on your health, work on getting some semblance of a life back. This isn't a way to live.

Tig Notaro monitors any mention of her name. That is no way to live a life. I sure don't monitor her name. I saw her advertising herself on the front page of DL.

Notaro is not above getting a makeup artist to falsify scars. Not above getting actors to play doctors. This is a very desperate and sick person. Does anyone really think that some uninterested party hates "Alisa Spitzberg" with such passion and shows up immediately when "Tig" is mentioned?

Look what she was willing to do just to shut down DL boards about her. She was willing to invent a whole series of incidences, that never occurred just so she could get herself out of a little bit the trouble she brought on herself.

Brian Williams and Cosby want people to "move on" but it doesn't work that way. Of course, Notaro is not famous and they are but liars that get away with lies like hers always try to make their victims look like pests who can't "move on." What Tig Notaro and Nick Kroll don't want you to know is that they went on an insane blacklisting and slander campaign so "moving on" in comedy would be impossible.

Not going to happen,Tig. You are not just going to get away with what you've done and continue to do.

That is unless you come clean and make amends for all the money, time, freedom, privacy,reputation, peace of mind you stole.

R101 I hope she and Marty Singer and Allison Hart think it's so hilarious how they lied and lied in public documents to make their mentally ill and stupid as shit client, Tig Notaro, win what no good lawyer would want her to win.

Nick Kroll might have found it hilarious, for a long time, that his phone calls could do, but now that his show is pulling .02 and many know he got every job by using his fathers contacts... Well, I doubt he's finding it as hilarious.

Gay Nick is a regular reader to this board, so he should be able to confirm or deny.

by Anonymousreply 103February 12, 2015 10:34 AM

R96 Actually, it was starting to be a regular part of her schtick and she admits it's a stunt. What would compel such as stunt, I wonder.

Google Daily Life Notaro to see her discuss it as a stunt that she pulled at Largo only weeks before to no fanfare.

Also, a Variety Article seems to make it as if there is no discussion of her cancer treatment. Google that too. Sundance Review Notaro.

Does this "Tig" show actual doctors with names listed, discussing her cancer or her treatments?

It just doesn't make sense that she'd repeatedly talk of cancer hormone blockers and now show up with this baby angle. It doesn't make sense that she'd suddenly reveal this "journey" when she all along was claiming various cancer treatments.

Largo does not permit audio recording either FYI.

If she somehow is not lying about cancer, why lie about every aspect of her cancer and stalking stories?
