Tammy Faye Bakker On Death Bed

Beloved US televangelist TAMMY FAYE BAKKER is close to death as she battles lung cancer, revealing her physicians have stopped treatment.

In a post on her website, Bakker has asked her fans to pray for her as she nears the end of her life.

The brave celebrity writes, "The doctors have stopped trying to treat the cancer and so now it's up to God and my faith." Bakker, who was first diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and learned the disease had returned to her lungs in 2004, reveals she looks "like a scarecrow" and now weighs a shocking 65 pounds (143.3 kilograms).
She adds, "I need God's miracle to swallow."

To understand why this woman is loved, do see the documentary, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye....

According to this documentary, the former puppeteer/gospel singer/preacher's wife/talk show host appeals to a gay audience because she is a Christian and gay-friendly. The point is reinforced in a short scene in which Tammy conducts an interview with a gay Christian pastor with AIDS, during which she chastises the Christian community for their lack of compassion for AIDS patients.
