Charles "Desperate To Put A Ring On It" Trippy - Part 38.

[da_precious1]

It's interesting how certain Allie is when talking about what the doctors have asked Charles in the past two years. I mean I'm sure Charles has told her but still a little strange to see her talk as if she's been there for years.

[o_O]

That was a weird clip. Why the hell was Allie so fidgety?

[Smoke-and-somnolence]

I can't see Allie wanting to rush into an engagement, and absolutely not a marriage. By the looks of it Charles already gets on her nerves already. Charles might be thinking more about it, but I have a teeny tiny hope that he has learnt something from how things went with A1 and Alli, and maybe see that an engagement or a marriage hasn't really meant anything before as far as commitment goes. I know giving him credit is not something we do here a lot, and I am probably being naive, but I hope that he's not that desperate.

:/ Hmmm... I'd hope Charles would be looking at it like that, but as of last year I basically see him acting like he's in a premature mid-life crisis [perhaps because he's been faced with his own mortality]. If he jumped into another marriage I wouldn't be surprised, if Allie accepted however, I'd become even more suspicious of her intentions and true colors cause I already feel like she's getting tired of the relationship. So if she married him I'd feel like it would be for reasons other than love.

Good thing Charles is a man, because grandma Wesenberg is homophobic! From Facebook:

I can understand people wanting to stay anonymous and out of the drama if they do have real information, but man it peeves me off that no one who actually knows Allie and Charles (and has proof of such) is willing to just spill the beans.

However, if what people are saying is true, then it's kinda sad for Charles. Mel is all over Allie like a rash, his parents don't seem too active in his life, and he pretty much has no friends, even the band seems to be getting sick of his antics. He doesn't seem to have anyone keeping an eye out for him.

I am so glad Alli has moved on and is happy with someone who appreciates her, but I am sad if Charles really has ended up with a user/abuser, even if he kinda deserves it if he did fuck Alli around.

I dont get that feeling from the band though, at least not from Travis and Danny who are good freinds with him, and at playlist live Travis spend a lot of his time with Charles and his group (Allie, Mel, Phill) in their hotel room. No bad vibes at all.

saw this in alli speed thread though it might be relevant here

So I ended up on this website after googling Allie Wesenburg. I've been hesitant to post but since lifeonthenet(?) did, why not. My boyfriends sister lives in St Pete and knows of Allie. As said before, she is toxic and doesn't have a very good reputation. Also, Allie doesn't work anymore, she's getting a free ride "working" for Charles Trippy. Or so everyone is saying down there. She doesn't know much about Alli Speed and Charles or the divorce, but she says it doesn't surprise her at all if Allie went for a married man who was still living with his wife. Believe me if you want, no reason to lie. Don't want to have to show proof because I don't know Allie personally, just the talk going around down there I guess. Have a good one everyone

This person saying the truth or not haven't really said something we did not already knew, except confirming that Allie is not working anymore at VIP singles. Now, this can be confirmed in the future but I do think she stopped working there. She is always at Charles house...

As for people related to them not showing up here or online, I think they are afraid or just don't want to be in the situation. Maybe one day someone will come out but for now, they are gossiping between each other outside the Internet, which is understandable.

I dont even think she was working for vip singles, except for that one video commercial she was in, thats all I think.

Does anyone else get the vibe that Charles and Allie are the kind of couple that make everyone around them feel awkward. Like they aren't afraid of gushing over each other and pda. Watching them in the hot tub made me feel icky.

Just listened to the "podcast"

A3's thoughts on Valentines Day with Charles

"Can I be your valentine, Melissa?" Phil says "I guess that means I'm Charles' valentine?"
A3 says "Ugh....phew Thank God"

Then its brought up again about her not being Charles' valentine and she expresses how relieved she is.

Yep, she's definitely a keeper Charles!

What is up with that hoodie? Is that a floral pattern (on the front & hood)?

Floral patterns are in style again. He probably got that hoodie at Pac Sun.

Regarding all of the posts here recently about Charles' physical health (and looks), I know I have also touched on this a few times...

It's important to note besides the usual things that has taken a back seat since the divorce (healthy diet, regular sleeping pattern, less stress). Charles is actually a cancer patient. First and foremost. He's also a cancer patient that will never fully recover. Which makes the difference.

It's taking it's toll, as any cancer in any organ would. It doesn't have to grow or shrink to be present and affecting him in different ways. The 15 or so rounds (estimate, I think he's had 15 rounds, could be a little more?) of chemotherapy also take it's toll on the brain and the chemical imbalance chemotherapy can cause on an organ like the brain is probably immeasurable. The last surgery knocked him to six, for like, forever (his speech and coordination has never fully recovered). The tumour is embedded in the supplementary motor cortex which means Charles' motor functions will never fully be the same and as the cancer progresses, hopefully years from now, his motor functions may worsen.

I know the Chaz's ex mistress of whatever she was left horrible (and let's be honest, some of them were very horrible) comments for Charles regarding his prognosis. Something along the lines of "17% chance of survival after 2 years, Alli should have held out". I don't know if that is something Chaz actually told her, because it seems like something he might have if she was his partner at the time, and struggling with his son's diagnosis, as any parent would. But it's also something random and unlikely to be made up. I mean, 17% chance of survival after two years isn't brilliant odds, but Charles' seems like he will surpass that as he is currently doing so well on chemo (the tumour is not growing at least). But they are not the most common or typical odds I have seen for Charles' type of cancer. Which says to me that his co-deletion test (a test to see how well his type of cancer responds to tumour) is obviously good (proof is in the chemo) but that his tumour is still very aggressive. Which is typical of his type of cancer. It's also telling that he has not made mention of radiotherapy in a very long time (he mentioned it once, maybe a year ago), and I would have thought they would have tried radiotherapy on him by now as that is the standard route for a lot of oligodendroglioma PT's, but sometimes, certain (and often very aggressive) tumours with certain cell and genetic makeup don't respond well do radiotherapy and they can determine this through testing beforehand. That worries me, because his chemotherapy is only stopping the tumour growing now, but it isn't shrinking. IF his chemotherapy stops working all together, it may be back to the drawing board for Charles.

Just thought it was important to mention that as I have seen a lot of scrutiny lately of Charles' "looks like shit" appearance. I know I have too commented on it and by no means does his environment help him, but I just saw that screen grab of him and Corey in the kitchen and how downtrodden Charles' looked and I had a "oh shit yeah, he has terminal brain cancer" moment.

Yeah, it's what all the "cool" kids are wearing nowadays.

If anyone is in the Tampa area, Allie will be at whigfest. I doubt Charles will go.

saw this on the alli thread, I know it just speculation but though it was better suited here as its about Charles and allie.

So I ended up on this website after googling Allie Wesenburg. I've been hesitant to post but since lifeonthenet(?) did, why not. My boyfriends sister lives in St Pete and knows of Allie. As said before, she is toxic and doesn't have a very good reputation. Also, Allie doesn't work anymore, she's getting a free ride "working" for Charles Trippy. Or so everyone is saying down there.

I think I will choose to believe you, lol. Mostly cause it lines up with my theories. I've thought that Allie became Charles "caretaker" after the Speeds dumped his ass. Don't leave us either... stay here and answer questions. Like do you know when Allie Wes became involved with Char?

Allie has known of ctfxc and charles for much longer than she says. Not sure exactly when she got involved with Charles but she's a "bed hopper" as my boyfriends sister says lol I guess Savannah has been talking bad of allie recently and she's seen her out at bars. Like I said, just saying what I hear!

[veronicasays-]

So, I was bored and decided to listen to the latest Meal Uncensored podcast and Allie says that she hates the idea of guys proposing on Valentine's Day. So no heart shaped pizza engagement surprise. Maybe he'll propose on her birthday which is March 3rd.

As thoughtful and romantic some girls probably think it is, personally, it's a terrible idea to make any anniversary date on a holiday or treasured time of the month -- like a birthday.
If anything happens to that relationship.. you're forever reminded of the memories you want to let go of.

This vlog annoyed me. It's clear that Charles was filming Allie at awkward moments and she wasn't happy. (especially in the spa). Like seriously, stop Charles.

[PolishRainbow]

3rd Allie has the same voice as Daffy Duck - does anyone think so?

Also, regarding Charles's prognosis: he has grade III, and the prognosis (on average) for this type of cancer is 3-5 years. Rarely does anyone makes it past 10 years. So if you start counting from 2013, he's got 1,5 - 3 years, if he is an average patient. It's really sad, but that's how it is. Right now, that's all that the doctors are able to do (to the best of my knowledge). You can look it up yourself: oligodendroglioma.

He's gotta get that hot tub thumbnail, duh.


Does anyone know: would Charles ever have another brain surgery to remove more of the tumor?

I know that there are people with different types of tumors in their brain who has had 10+ surgeries so it could be a possibility. However, with the last surgery, they removed all they dared to remove. The rest was to close and they ran the risk of paralyzing Charles or worse if they were to cut any closer to his brain. I can't see Charles qualify for another surgery unless the tumor grows - knock on wood that it doesn't!

When he had the awake brain surgery he did say he would go on chemo and when the tumor was smaller (I think that's what he said) they would "Zap zap zap" it. It's in the vlog when he and Alli reveals the results from the biopsy of the tumor. If they were still under the impression that they are going to do radiation I would think, as was already mentioned, that they would have done that once he stopped chemo a while back, had it still been an option.

I agree. He made mention of zapping it. Once during the diagnosis reveal and a short time after. Then never again. I don't think Radiotherapy is a viable option at the moment for Charles. Simply because I think if he was due to have it along the line he would still be mentioning it now, but he stopped talking about anything other than Chemotherapy like a year ago.

A third surgery is probably not an option either at the moment. Unless he has one of those fancy new surgeries that combine surgery and radiotherapy. But then again, if they have tested charles tumour and seen he wouldn't be responsive to radiotherapy then they wont do it. They will treat him conservatively. He has terminal cancer and it's his BRAIN. They wont do any treatment if it isn't worthwhile or a risk to his already shortened life.

As for poster above who says that patients with Charles type of cancer rarely live past 10 years. It's not really that rare, but those who do are still in the minority, but those who do are also like charles - on long term oral chemotherapy the same as charles. Which, is actually a very new treatment (relative to how you define "new", perhaps nearly two decades) and testing for these tumours is getting better each time. Especially genetic makeup testing to see exactly how each tumour works on a cellular level and how it would react to each of the many amazing treatments out there. I think Charles could go beyond 10 years. If his chemotherapy continues to work, the tumour remains the size it is, doesn't nectrotise and doesn't invade more healthier tissue, then he could go on for maybe 20 years, but then that would be considered rare. Data for people like charles on long term temador is still being collected cause like I said, it's new. His type of cancer is scary as fuck because the tumours are so aggressive but if they test it correctly, they can be amazingly responsive to a tailored treatment plan.

This is hard for some people here to probably understand because many know that your "bog standard" cancer is treated a few different ways depending on what area of the body it originated (breast, liver etc) but brain cancer is so unique they can actually tailor treatment to the individual genetic makeup of the tumours that grow. Not in every form of brain cancer, and there are loads, but in most, and especially Charles', which is one of the ugliest forms but can also be one of the most responsive.

I am praying this man continues to have a long life, I really am. It would kill me to see this man I used to adore play out his last years this way. He's so fucking young.
