Earlier this month, Hip Hop Crunch dished on the new book My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, a new tell-all penned by Eminem’s estranged mother, Debbie Nelson. (Since Em hasn’t had a hit in years, we think Deb would have had more luck releasing this book back in 2002. At this point, who cares? Next time get faster ghostwriters.) We now hear that Debbie is dying of breast cancer and is spilling secrets of her son’s not so underpriviledged childhood and bipolar nature to secure funds for her medical bills.

“She’s dying of stage 4 breast cancer. She needs the money to pay medical bills and he wont talk to her so that’s her open letter to him. Em agreed to try to help her pay some medical bills and try to get her insurance but couldn’t because of the pre-existing medical condition.”

The book will be released in the U.S in 2008.
