I'm surprised you guys didn't jump on this yet??

From AVN last week:

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Twenty-seven-year-old adult performer/director Nicki Hunter was diagnosed recently with lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, a complex form of cancer targeting the lymph system.

An outpouring of support and sympathy from members of the adult community has been sent Hunter's way, with a few individuals beginning to organize major fundraisers to help her and her family through this crisis.

AVN.com spoke with Amber Gleason, long-time friend and public relations representative to Hunter, who recounted Hunter's discovery of the disease.

"Towards about the end of November, Nicki began having back pains," she said. "Within a month or so, it had progressed to the point where her left side was completely distended, and she was having severe back pain, to the point where she couldn't get out of bed.

"So eventually she went to Dr. Riggs — everybody knows Dr. Riggs — and he took an x-ray, and they found a large mass in her chest," Gleason continued. "[It] turned out to be her thymus gland, blown up to about the size of an oblong grapefruit … it kind of looked like an octopus wrapped around her heart."

Gleason explained that the cause of the affliction is the carrier's T-cells dropping a chromosome and replicating uncontrollably, which develops into a cancer when they hit a lymph node or gland and get trapped there. She said that because it's not a simple type of cancer to treat, it's one that will likely affect Hunter the remainder of her life.

"A lot of things are going to have to change," she continued. "Nicki Hunter [is] still going to be able to have a career, she's still going to be able to be in the industry. She's going to have to take a few months off, but certain things, like her feature dancing, she's not going to be able to do anymore. All of her anal scenes, can't do that anymore, either. Nicki was always known for being very rough, very hardcore, and a lot of that's gotta change. Now she has to live kind of a quieter life."

Gleason said that Hunter, who was sent home from the hospital two days ago, has begun chemotherapy treatments, and that all things considered, she's doing well. "She's not healthy right now," Gleason offered, "but emotionally, she's doing well. Everyone's been calling, sending flowers … she's loving it, she's like, 'Yay! Everybody loves me!' She's in good spirits, she's back with her family, and that's what makes her happy. That's what she needs more than anything else in life, is her boys and her husband."

In addition to calls and flowers, fundraising plans have begun to coalesce amongst prominent industry figures and companies, including Kylie Ireland, Ginger Lynn, De'Bella, All Media Play, Sex-Z Pictures, Red Light District, X-Play, Elegant Angel and AVN. Benefits currently being organized are an All Media Play industry party in mid-March and a charity movie.

"Everybody's been wanting to get very involved and help, which has been incredibly humbling and just very amazing, and very touching," Gleason said. "Nicki is very, very happy to know that people care so much about her. From her, she wants to say thank you to everybody for caring."

Whores with cancer is the new black.

I did. Just now. When you made it a poll and then fucking changed it back again!



Tony, when you posted that poll, I was going to suggest you were under the mental influence of Jamesn.

yaaaYUH i got me deballa email! fuck them cancers me and deballa gonna go tear up the town on donations.

She is in my thoughts and prayers

We did cover this indirectly in the cage - VirginHermaphrodite attacking Chr XXX over his donation of the proceeds of a "scene" for Ms. Hunter.

Damn. I actually like this whore. That sucks.

shes a great girl... very sad when there are people much more deserving.

i wish her well.

my sympathy to ms hunter, a woman i only found out existed just now. no one should get cancer at 27, i hope she beats it.

however, that said:

eventually someone's going to cure cancer, and then we're going to be fucked. cancer at 27 sucks, but cancer is one of the few diseases keeping the western world's population growth under control. it doesn't seem fair that an ethiopian kid can die of a cold just because his country's poor, yet an old western woman can be pumped full of drugs to keep her alive 35 years after she ceased to serve any purpose other than being a drain on the economy. cancer, obesity and aids are all we have left, and with stem cells, biotechnology and other medical improvements soon even they will be useless. bird flu will merely take out south east asia so that's no help; nature will have to dream up some new disease, perhaps rapidly communicable spontaneous combustion, and then people will be rueing the fact that no one dies of cancer anymore.

essentially, i don't want to be around in 20 years time when only white western countries are left and i'm taxed 80% of my income to keep irrelevant old people alive who were too stupid to understand the simple concept of saving for the future.

The population of the majority of western countries is on the decline. Europe especially. IIRC. jus sayin

once the singularity comes population issues will be a thing of past nightmares.

Eddie, read Thomas Malthus' Principles of Population. You'll like what he has to say. When you get angry enough that whores' reproduce geometrically while food and methadone supplies grow arithmetically, read William Ophuls' Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity.

You are on borrowed time, motherfucker, and this is just one step closer to the gothshit roleplaying that got you bitchslapped out of here last time.

i smell death in the air. i dont know if it longshot version 2 breath or nicki hunter cancerous body though.

Ok, enough bullcrap eugenics talk, get the shit together.

That is one decent whore, good luck.

What I said was your reference to "singularity" was another step closer to when you used to run around here with a nappy towel around your neck, cape-like, as a goth-punk-satanist-wrestler. It's just another lame iteration of a nouveau-riche (some would say nigger-rich) white kid trying to find himself. It's not unique, and it's not impressive.

I'm not going to read your wikipedia references. Beyond pop-culture information wiki's basically worthless. After all, it's written by anonymous fuckers on the internet.

It is not supposed to be unique or impressive. I was stating that we are close to a time when technology will not only surpass disease, but will also have the solutions to the problems that come from death being made obsolete by technology. It has nothing to do with some "identity", it has to do with SCIENCE. if you find Wiki objectionable (i chose it as a an easy reference for you.) then visit the other two sites, or read The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil ....

If thats not mainstream enough for you....

How about Stanford

http://sss.stanford.edu/

I would say its far from unique... or individualist, or goth, or any shit like that. Unless you are calling former White House Advisor and 9/11 Commission member Richard Clarke goth? http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/?p=330

This is science my friend, and a science that humanity is going to HAVE to come to terms with within the next few years.

There are two problems, Rob:

1. Biology (aka breeding).
2. Religious people not accepting any other Science.

Those people aren't going to stop breeding. They'll kill each other in larger chunks over silly differences, but they aren't going to stop. They're starving in most of the world, and it isn't stopping them.

They are still fighting "evolution" in the schools.

Earth is like a great popular restaurant and what it needs is more turnover not less!

too sad but i have a question

why a fund for help her? she dont have health insurance? what she make with all the money she earn in all her career?

"eventually someone's going to cure cancer"

Not the pharmaceuticals, there's no money to be made off of people who are healthy.

Like most porn stars, Nicki does not have Health Insurance.

When you work in the corporate world, your employer usually offers some form of insurance. But if you happen to be a Pornstar (who are mostly independent contractors) it is up to you to handle this on your own. Since Nicki got lymphoblastic leukemia, I have asked every porn girl I come into contact with if she has insurance. I think only 1 or 2 of them have said yes. Several of them have said "I had some, but I went without working for a couple of months and let the payments lapse." It's kinda like buying an alarm system for your home. Most people don't buy one until after they have been robbed the first time.

For those who want to help out, you can reach Nicki through her myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/nickihunter

It's not just pornstars who don't have insurance! Many people/families WITH JOBS have no insurance.

Most independent young people without children don't buy insurance because they generally don't use it and it is very expensive (though as a 1099er, it is fully deductible).

Guys, you're amazing ability to jack threads is beginning to wear thin. This thread is supposed to be about support for Nikki.

Seriously, can't you PM each other with this stuff rather than clog threads?

Rob, you're the answer to a question that was never asked.

(told you I'd use it, Fatman).

Very sad news. Good luck, Nicki. I hope you'll comeback soon.
Beat that fuckin' cancer..
