I found this through my Facebook feed. It is quite a long letter so I will offer a short summary.
Nana (who as we all know is a Cheiron legend with her vocals being the foundation of countless songs, everything from Britney to E-Type) has been battling throat cancer for about 4 years now. She survived the cancer but had to undergo excessive radiation treatment with adverse such as losing teeth etc. After her 30 years of vocal training she is now unsure if she will ever sing again.
As if this was not enough, she is also in debt after several years of not being able to work. While Sweden is known for its generous welfare system, it has its limitations and as of lately more and more cases have reached the surface where sick people are more or less forced to get back to work even though they are not well.
It has gone far enough for her to fear eviction if she cannot turn things around and she is calling out for her FB friends/anyone to help her out before she is forced to move out of her apartment.
Many people out of Cheiron made it out with successful carreers and million dollar bank accounts, but the same cannot be said for the backing vocalists who do not get songwriting royalty, production royalty or production fee cuts. While they are entitled to a "artist royalty" of sorts, this is largely paid out to the main artist - and many countries do not offer these payouts at all. Most often they just get a small fee for their time in the studio, if anything.
I don't know if there is a lot we could do but I would want to help her out somehow. As a struggling producer I don't have a lot of money but I would be heartbroken to watch my backing vocalists suffer while my songs went #1.
:'(
Here is the FB post in full (in swedish): https://www.facebook.com/nana.hedin/posts/10202950278743493 (https://www.facebook.com/nana.hedin/posts/10202950278743493)
its unfair to work if u have cancer!
Wow..I knew she survived cancer before but again? omg..
It's not throat cancer, it's tongue cancer. What needs to be done is to get her to Colorado to give her marijuana oil, because THAT is the TRUE cure to cancer, radiation only makes cancer come back with a vengeance, in other words, it only makes matters worse.
I'm really serious about what I just said. I would try to help her, but I don't have enough means.
Rick Simpson should reach out to her RIGHT NOW.

Stop with Bullshit! you can't cure cancer with marijunana!!!
Cannabis doesn't cure cancer, it's a complementary therapy to ease the pain of the disease.
Come on... you didn't know that?
Actually, you guys have been misinformed sorely. It really does cure cancer as shown by independent studies.

There are two statements, one in each link, pretty much in the begging of each article, which convinced me very quickly, that all of this is a huge load of bullshit!
The first being:
Quote"Promo Code: FREE-SHIPPING on Orders Over $75"
A website that wants to sell your their (promo) products sure is a reliable source for when it comes to science and scientific facts. Oh yeah, absolutely! Because people who want to sell stuff, WHO WANT YOUR
MONEY, they would never make things up! :-X
And the second being:
QuoteArguments against the use of marijuana is usually published in Psychiatric journals, which show no scientific evidence that Cannabis is harmful to human health.
Yeah, cause psychiatrical matters do not belong to and/or interfere with human health. Congrats on so much sharpness!

Hoo god... you come from an other planet? lool
Well, actually this week one person have the permission to enter Sativex -an analgesic based on cannabis- in Chile.
That, being marihuana a drug type 1, just like heroin, cocaine or other synthetic drugs.
If a doctor prescribe a medicine, is because that medicine has been proved and tested -for over 10 years in animals and humans- and is available for human consumption. Being that a very reliable source, isn't?

Sativex doesn't cure Cancer... it's just for the pain cause by the cancer !!

Analgetics are used to
reduce pain, not to cure!

A reliable source for being used as an analgetic, yes.
But people here were talking about it being a
cure for cancer, which is nonsense.
I think we agree this time, Jules.

I sent her a message of condolence just now. I wish I could help.
I wouldn't like to see messages about my death in my inbox.

Dude, what I meant was that I said to her was that I was sorry to hear that she's sick.
