In Reply to: A telling profile on Roger Ebert and oral cancers posted by Bud on February 19, 2010 at 12:35:01:
That full profile is linked below. A tear-jerker, be forewarned.
: Also this week, Esquire profiled film critic Roger Ebert, who also had oral cancer. He suffered complications from surgery to treat cancer of the salivary gland. The magazine published a full-page photo of the film critic, who no longer has a lower jaw.
: Ebert spent little time feeling sorry for himself: "If we think we have physical imperfections, obsessing about them is only destructive. Low self-esteem involves imagining the worst that other people can think about you. That means they're living upstairs in the rent-free room," he wrote on his blog after the photo published.
