Dolly Parton Tough Health Battles

Dolly Parton’s climb from rural Tennessee poverty to fame and fortune as a global icon in the entertainment industry serves as an example for people everywhere.

She has over 3000 songs written for her numerous fans because of her friendly and understanding nature.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognized her efforts in the music industry by inducting her that year (November 2022). However, rumors and assumptions about her private life, especially her health, have been widely disseminated on the web.

In late 2022, rumors spread rapidly on social media that Dolly Parton had contracted a “dangerous disease” and required immediate life care. Thankfully, the charges were unfounded, but they nonetheless reflect deep worry for the country music icon’s wellbeing.

Dolly Parton reportedly had kidney stone surgery and an esophagectomy.

Dolly Parton has not avoided communicating with fans of her music and charitable work despite prioritizing her own life.

Dolly Parton continues to build credibility through her philanthropic efforts and top-selling music, guaranteeing that she will be discussed for years to come.

After analyzing the claims’ origin and finding that they were based on a dubious YouTube video, the Snopes website debunked them.

Recent sightings of Parton onstage and in the audience at her concerts are encouraging signs that, at age 76, she remains active and healthy.

During a procedure in September 2015, Parton had kidney stones surgically removed. She was 69, and her health issue was quickly cured.

Nearly 30 days after the initial reports, Parton released a statement denying the cancer allegations.

She finally came clean: “Yes, I did have kidney stones. I’m doing great three weeks after they were taken out!”

It is completely false that I have stomach cancer. It gives me hope that so many individuals are concerned about my wellbeing.

In June 2013, sources say, Parton secretly had an esophagectomy to have a state-of-the-art medical device implanted in her esophagus to treat her gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Due to the potential for esophageal cancer to develop from stomach acid spilling into the esophagus if left untreated, this procedure was performed as a preventative measure.

Due to her sickness, surgery, and medication, she lost a lot of weight at this time.

Reporters tried to get a statement from Parton’s representatives, but they declined. However, an anonymous source reportedly said:

“Dolly Parton was 35 years old when she discovered she had had endometriosis for months. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissues that should be found inside the uterus instead multiply outside, causing inflammation of organs and other regions of the body.”

Parton got a partial hysterectomy after undergoing two procedures to stem the hemorrhage.

Because of this, she was unable to conceive naturally, and she went through a period of mental lows as she realized that her health problems had been weighing her down and preventing her from exercising and taking proper care of herself. According to her the experience was overwhelming and terrifying.

In order to manage the excruciating discomfort caused by her endometriosis, Parton had to make some major changes to her routine, such as switching to a diet of soft, bland foods.

She had to take antacids to combat any stomach acidity that may have developed as a result of consuming these foods. Furthermore, Parton’s weight began to plunge drastically due to the quantity of blood loss caused by endometriosis, adding stress to an already stressful situation.

Since then, Parton has become an advocate for other women with similar disorders, sharing her story of living with and overcoming them as well as tips for staying healthy.

Parton believes that by sharing her story, more people will be encouraged to prioritize their own health and well-being.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ — THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in — a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom — MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didn’t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” 👇🏼 Full story in the first comment 👇

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadn’t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everything—new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadn’t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him well—Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feet—until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulled—but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncover—or how it was about to change his life forever ⬇️

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldn’t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLE—BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of them—Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samir—were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldn’t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they were… praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying “Amen.” Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we don’t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. It’s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And I’d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Izzy opened one eye and whispered, “We’re asking the sky to help us.” “Help you with what?” I asked. Niko just said, ⬇️
