Is that true diane rehm has cancer?

Answer 1

Havn't heard that, but she did recently spray perfume onto her contact lense and ended up instantly burning ninety percent of the layer of cells that covers the cornea’s surface. Ouch.

Yeas & Nays: Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2007

At the moment, WAMU talk show host Diane Rehm isn’t a huge fan of the Transportation Security Administration’s rules, namely the one that requires all carry-on liquids and gels to be placed in 3-ounce bottles (anything larger has to be checked).

“When you put everything in the same little dumb plastic bottles in order to get on the airplane,” Rehm told Yeas & Nays, “then mistakes can be made, and that’s what unfortunately happened to me.”

Rehm was in her hotel room in Oklahoma City Friday, preparing to head to the airport and catch a flight back to the District. With her were three identical plastic spray bottles: One for her contact lens cleaner, one for her contact lens rinse and one for her perfume (Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, her perfume of the last 40 years, in case you were curious). She purchased these bottles a few months ago in order to comply with the TSA’s requirements.

“I just picked the wrong bottle and sprayed the cologne onto my contact lens and put the contact lens into my eye,” Rehm said. “I’ve never had such pain in my life.” Ninety percent of Rehm’s epithelium (the layer of cells that covers the cornea’s surface) was burned instantly. The pain made it difficult for Rehm to get the contact lens out and her left eye began to swell shut.

Rehm headed to a hospital in Oklahoma City but grew frustrated with the lethargic pace of the waiting room and insisted on returning home rather than going to an emergency room. She headed to a pharmacy, chatted with the pharmacist, washed her eye out and headed to the airport. By the time her plane landed in D.C., her eye was completely swollen shut.

Rehm headed to a local doctor on Saturday, who gave her a special contact lens that shields the cornea so healing can take place. It is possible for her eye to heal completely, but Rehm’s not sure how long it’ll take. She trudged into work Monday to do her show, but took Tuesday off in order to recuperate.

“I’m reading with one eye,” Rehm said. “So it’s very distracting.”

As of this writing, Rehm said she hopes to be long enough into her recovery to head back to work today.
