Stay Strong
Filed under: Media Minute
In response to reports in the British media about Brit newsman Martin Bashir, ABC has just released the following statement, confirming sad news about his health:
An MRI scan recently discovered a small growth on Martin Bashir's pituitary gland. Bashir's doctors have advised that no immediate action be taken as they monitor the situation month to month.
Bashir is feeling well as he continues to keep a full schedule anchoring and reporting for ABC News.
Bashir made headlines with his candid interviews of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.
However, the eerie thing is, the way Bashir found out about the tumor gives credence to that saying, sometimes things happen for a reason.
Docs discovered the brain tumor while treating Bashir for a minor head injury he suffered at ABC's studios.
We hope the treatment for the tumor is 100% successful.
It's bittersweet but thankfully that head injury alerted him of the more serious problem sooner than he would have otherwise!
O.o

I will be praying for you.
I actually had a benign tumor on my pituitary gland and everything turned out great. I'm sure he will be ok.
SAD !
First?
KARMA IS A BETCH MAYBE
Poor guy…wish nothing but the best for him and his family. Stay strong
oh my god! he used to live really near me before they moved to ny. i know his daughter, we went to school together!
as an mri technologist i cant tell you how many times people come in for a recent slight trauma to head and then we do an mri and we find brain tumors or aneurysm's
Everything happens for a reason…much blessings and a speedy recovery.
Dude what's up with everyone getting cancer? It's scary!
Love you Martin!! You're gonna beat this
xo
Poor guy! Best of luck to him and i hope he makes a full recovery.
Karma's a bitch
Maybe this is Karma for the evil way he tricked poor deranged Michael Jackson into trusting him for that hatchet-job "interview" he did of him where he totally betrayed him.
I HOPE HE DIES. HE IS AN EVIL SON OF A BITCH.
HE MANIPULATED OTHERS TO BECOME FAMOUS.
CARMA IS A BITCH
SO HE SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TAKE IT NOw!!!!
Sad! I really like this guy. I don't know about his interviews with MJ or Princess Di, but I watch him on Nightline sometimes. Thanks for reporting about real people Perez. I pride myself on my intellegence, and, while most of your site is brain candy, a few serious/important issues are always a good thing.
I found out I had thyroid cancer while being treated for sinusitis…. Things DO happen for a reason…
benign pituitary tumors are generally very treatable, especially if they are small. he will likely turn out to be totally fine after whatever treatment they choose to do.
duh! you wish the treatment to be 100% successful……Read what you post, they are MONITORING, not TREATING!!!!
HEY PEREZ! TELL EVERYONE THE GOSSIP ABOUT YOUR MEET AND GREET FOR YOUR ILL FATED CLOTHING LINE LAUNCH!!!!
FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
HILARIOUS!
SHOW PICS! COME ON!
TALK ABOUT HOW MISERABLE YOU WERE!
WWW.THEDIRTY.COM GO SEE FOR YOUR SELF!
My friend had a tumor on her pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is regulates a lot of different bodily functions. Weird stuff happened because of it; she doubled her weight, and started producing milk (not pregnant), but had it removed and was good for years. Then it grew back, and she had it removed again. (They operated through her nostril) She's fine, but wasn't able to drop all of the weight. He's lucky to find it early to avoid the weird stuff, but will probably be OK. Pancreatic cancer (Swayze) has a far worse prognosis.
Bet Michael Jacksons soooo upset over this one!!
karma's a bitch ain't it.
thats karma for ya
KARMA KARMA KARMA,,, YOU DID MICHALE JACKSON WRONG, NOW DEATH IS UPON YOU!!!!!! ,,,,,GODS NEVER FORSAKES HIS CHILDREN, DONT DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DONT WANT TO UNTO YOU!!!!!! CURSED ARE THOSE CURSE AND BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO BLESS!!
If this is the guy who betrayed MJ with that bullshit documentary, then he deserves to die a slow, painful death.
Martin Bashir is a manipulative liar who is happy to destroy people's lives for his own career. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone - but I wouldn't shed a tear on the passing of this twat either. Doubt Michael Jackson will be shedding a tear either.
As long as it isn't cancerous it shouldn't be that much of a problem at all. I know half a dozen people with pituitary tumors (I'm actually not exaggerating - both my mother and my ex had them, as well as a couple friends and people I worked with over the years).
were did you lift this article…it sounds much more eloquent than your usual drivel…almost literary…so whose article is it, fatty?
you really are a dick, you know!
Re: aNDRE – Karma, not Carma, moron
Andddd that's what you get for fucking with the king of pop. Wonder what Mike's thinking right now.
It's called an "incidental finding". A finding made, while assessing, or treating a totally separate and unrelated incident.
My grandma has a tumor on her pituitary, and she's doing just fine. From what I understand with what she's had to go through is that it's very treatable and never malignant.
Good luck to him though, tumors, no matter what kind, are never fun!
Big deal. I had an MRI in December 2005 and they discovered a tumor on my pituitary gland. Mine isn't that bad, and it hasn't affected anything ni my every day life. His tumor could stay the same size for the rest of his life, and since he hasn't had any ill-effects in life so far then he probably never will have a problem. You're making a big deal out of something extremely, extremely minor.
This guy is a waste of space. He became rich and famous completely betraying others. He's getting what comes to him, everything in life isn't free. I hope he recovers though.
I love this guy. He exposed Michael Jackson for what he is, a child molester. Hope he gets well.
My SIL has a pituitary tumor, and they're just watching it…have been for close to eight years now.
Ughhh. Lets not make too much drama out of this. It's most likely a pituitary adenoma which are fairly common, not deadly and very treatable.
Karma's a bitch, and so is Bashir.
I rarely say things like this, but screw him.
He deserves every bit of that tumor.
"sometimes things happen for a reason"
bashir is a type of social cancer, his slanted reporting is toxic
therefore….
the punishment fits his crime(s).
Well a lot of people seem to be saying this type of tumor is nothing to start writing his eulogy over. Having said that… F*CK Martin Bashir. I hope that son of a bitch gets hit by a f*ckin' MAC TRUCK. He's not a journalist, he's a sleeze ball who make his living off the exploiting the naivete of trusting artists.
He makes stories very believeable and I like this guy. I wish you the best!
Okay, not to be rude…but, my husband has this and it is nothing serious… just means he has a low sex drive, more difficult to stay fit, and, may grow man boobs… nothing too serious… it actually is a tumor that is quite common in women during and after pregnancy…
its a pituitary adenoma. probably would have lived his whole life without knowing it was there if not for the accident. no biggie.
this is not sad news! it's not even news! the fact that they aren't treating it means its probably nothing…a growth is NOT a big deal
KARMA IS A BITCH! THIS LYING SACK OF SHIT DESERVES TO DIE A SLOW GRUESOME DEATH!!!!!!
Carma is a BITCH!!!! I hope he suffers a S - L - O - W and most painful death
He ruined other peoples lifes to become famous. Suck it now bitch
Nelson from the simpsons says: Haha, Michael Jackson says: Hee Hee!
Re: Sharon – Sad for his family, but I think you might have a point about Karma…he did a terrible thing to MJ and maybe this is payback??
Treatment? They aren't doing anything!! Welcome to socialized medicine!!
brain tumors suck, but why have i always found this guy to be odious?
Get better soon, Mr. Bashir!
Looking forward to your swift recovery.
Oh purlease we all that there is something wrong with Micheal Jackson, we all know that he is most likely guilty and the only reason he got away with it was because there wasn't just enough evidence to convict him just because someone is found not guilty it doesn't mean they're innocent.
Karma! He's a nasty person who used Michael Jackson and Princess Diana to get famous.
he'll probably just get fat. It's called Cushing's Disease. Crappy, but really not life-threatening.
I love how the media twists shit to appear all DOOMSDAY, PEREZ!!!!
MARTIN BASHIR IS SCUM! TALK ABOUT KARMA!
I TOO HAVE A TUMOR ON MY PITUITARY GLAND AND AM UNDER THE MONITORING STAGE. IT WAS ONLY DISCOVERED LAST FALL AND LIKE BASHIR I WAS HAVING AN MRI FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASON. THESE BENIGN TUMORS DO NOT AFFECT OUR NORMAL LIVES. HONESTLY, IT'S NOT THAT SCARY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR TREATMENT. IF THE TUMOR CONTINUE TO GROW THEY WILL CONSIDER SURGERY. I'M SURE MARTIN BASHIR WILL BE FINE!!
Bastard.. hope he died soon!
michael jackson curse strikes again - screw with mj bad things happen
jesus christ perez, you can't wait to be the first to put the nail in somebody's coffin. first patrick swayze, now martin bashir.
in a sense, i can partly understand your swayze reaction, but not this.
a tumor on a pituitary gland is BY NO MEANS A DEATH SENTENCE. not even close.
there are lots of highly effective treatment approaches. so give the guy a fucking break and stop being so fucking MORBID. it doesn't help him or us.
you need to see a therapist and do some grief work around your father's death.
FYI, pituitary tumors are almost always benign and treatable.
Pituitary tumors and cancer are two different things!! Don't lead people to believe he has cancer and don't lead them to believe he has a brain tumor … pituitary tumors are completely different!!
I would for a group of Neuro Surgeons and I know for a fact that Pituitary Tumors are treatable and rarely fatal.

My dad had a benign tumor on his petuitary gland…in fact one in ten people have them and most never know. The biggest risk with these, is that it pushes on your petuitary gland and can cause any number of health problems…high blood pressure, acid reflux, you name it, and pressure on your petuitary gland can cause it. Also, nine out of ten are benign. It's a simple procedure, they'll go through his nose, break it up and pull it out. He'll only appear to have had a nose bleed. Good luck to him!
Thats What he gets, its called K A R M A. Rot in hell you Iraqi and Try and Shame The United States of America's King of Pop!
The name of this disease is acromegaly. I was diagnosed with this at the age of 25 I am now 38. Last year I had surgery to remove the tumor but the tumor was so close to one of my main nerves they could not remove it all. Th
