The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) interviewed neurosurgeons in Montreal and Toronto who described Holmes' claims as exaggerated and stated that her condition was a benign cyst which was not a medical emergency.
Shona Holmes is a Canadian woman who underwent treatment for a Rathke's cleft cyst in the United States, which she erroneously claimed in the media was a brain tumor. Her benign cyst was removed August 1, 2005.
Obviously FOX didn't do any homework! What else is new!
Holmes' "brain tumour" was actually a Rathke's Cleft Cyst on her pituitary gland. To quote an American source, the John Wayne Cancer Center, "Rathke's Cleft Cysts are not true tumors or neoplasms; instead they are benign cysts."
Funny how the "Americans for Prosperity Foundation" who posted this video are all of a sudden concerned about everybody's health.
They are the same bunch that worked around the U.S. in recent years to defeat both smokefree workplace laws and cigarette excise tax increases. So when your dying from sucking in second hand smoke and don't have insurance you can thank these clowns twice.
Did FOX do a retraction on this story?

Well, I see "Shona the liar" is at it again.
She waits until near the end of the segment to explain that the "Tumor" was really a cyst.
What a one sided load of Fox crap. Ask 99% of Canadians if they would trade systems and they would laugh at you!
