dumbass....Lopez won't be done with his treatments until after christmas.


read: rehab.

Dumbass?...Rehab... How so? Who said Lopez is in rehab...now unless you have some proof to back this up...I would just shut your mouth.

Personally, I'd rather it be rehab than some serious disease. But whatever it is, it's obviously something they want to keep private.

Didn't Lopez have some rare blood disease or something that he broke down from and had to go get medicine and treatments for it or something?

Exactly what i have read.I figure if it was/Is rehab.....he should of went for a intensive 90 day program...nothing more,nothing less...which would of been around the beginning of july....so he would be recovered by late sept. early oct.....I am betting early OCT.We can only hope....Lopez get well soon bro.

yeah exactly. I think my assumption that his illness is due to drug/alcohol withdrawals is probably spot on. this Rare blood disease just doesn't float with me. He was fine since he joined the band..now all of a sudden he's got a "rare blood disorder" that makes him have anxiety attacks?
.
I might be wrong, but their generic label of his illness doesn't float my boat at all. He looks anemic in the promo shots they made. (the shitty ones) And if he was anemic..I hardly think that would be something they couldnt' tell the fans and general public about. As if its somethign to be ashamed of.

Its commendable that they'd keep it private.....as long as he's getting help for whatever. But its stupid to say, "oh gee..I hope martin get's better" when they've already said he WONT be getting better in time for anything this year.

Anything is possible...and i do agree with you on the photos...when i saw him...he seemed fine...alittle withdrawn...but coherent,happy and talkative.Though there have been no statements..that he will not recover for "anything" this year.If you have something i can look into with this aforementioned statement...i would be more then happpy to read it.
