Sharing the news via Instagram on Thursday, the fashionista, 39, explained that her mother underwent emergency surgery just days before the holidays after doctors discovered a brain tumor at the back of her skull.

Here’s Everything We Know About Dave Coulier’s Cancer Diagnosis
November 13, 2024
Dave Coulier is keeping it real when it comes to his health, as he believes speaking up can inspire others. The sitcom star was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after he came down with a cold and noticed swelling in his neck, armpits, and groin. As the lumps in his neck region got worse, he immediately underwent a series of tests, including blood work, EKG, PET, and CT scans, which returned shocking results. Dave’s cancer is also known as B-cell lymphoma, and it develops in the lymphatic tissues, thereby affecting his immunity. Thankfully, a further bone marrow test strongly indicates that Dave’s condition has a 90% chance of getting cured as it had not yet spread. The 65-year-old is currently undergoing rounds of chemotherapy, with five sessions left until February 2025. He noted that he does not feel sick at all times and uses such opportunities to make new episodes for his Full House Rewind podcast. Dave and his loved ones hope he goes into total remission in a few months.

Netanyahu undergoes prostate removal operation, court testimony delayed
December 29, 2024
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [75] underwent prostate removal surgery on Sunday after he was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection resulting from a benign prostate enlargement. Following the surgery, which lasted approximately two hours, Netanayhu was moved to the hospital's recovery room, Israeli media reported. The operation took place in an underground facility at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and required Netanyahu to undergo full anesthesia. The prime minister is expected to remain hospitalized for several days, according to his attorney, Amit Hadad, who submitted a request Sunday to the Tel Aviv District Court to cancel his scheduled testimony this week in his ongoing corruption trial. The Attorney General's Office approved the request on Sunday. Justice Minister Yariv Levin acted as caretaker prime minister while Netanyahu was incapacitated. Defense Minister Israel Katz served as chairman of the political-security cabinet.

Israeli doctors reveal Netanyahu’s chronic heart problem only after implanting pacemaker
July 24, 2024
JERUSALEM (AP) — After undergoing emergency surgery to implant a pacemaker, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 73, made a video appearance from a hospital near Tel Aviv. Wearing a crisp dark suit, he grinned and declared energetically that he felt “great, as you can see.”
But the Sunday photo-op failed to reassure Israelis, who were shocked to learn the same day that their longest-serving prime minister had concealed a long-known heart problem. The admission was a stark contrast to the image of a fully healthy, energetic leader that Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to bolster.
A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was urgently fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal Sunday night that Netanyahu has for years [how many?] experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats.

She added: "It’s so important to identify early because it’s treatable. While rare, it’s a possibility, and knowing it exists is the first step to addressing it.”

December 29, 2024
Rizin Fighting Federation prospect Igor Tanabe will be stepping away from mixed martial arts indefinitely after being diagnosed with moyamoya disease. The Japanese promotion recently revealed that Tanabe received an MRI in early December and was diagnosed with the condition. It is unclear when — or if — the 24-year-old Tanabe will return to fighting. “Due to the diagnosis that MMA, any sport involving blows to the head, and the extreme dehydration that comes with weight loss are extremely dangerous, Igor has had to step back from competitive martial arts for a while,” read a statement from Rizin in a release. (via Google Translate). According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, “moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain in an area called the basal ganglia.” While the disease is primarily found in children, it can also affect adults, leading them to experience a “hemorrhagic stroke due to bleeding into the brain.” Other symptoms of moyamoya disease can include headaches, seizures, disturbed consciousness, involuntary movements, vision problems and cognitive and/or sensory impairment, per NINDS. “It is said that there is no cure for moyamoya disease, but I have made the impossible possible,” Tanabe stated in the release. “I will definitely recover and fight in front of you all again.”

Horse racing: Kiwi jockey great Opie Bosson retires from racing
December 27, 2024
Mattamata - Champion jockey Opie Bosson was halfway through a Christmas Day run when he knew his career was over.“I knew I was done, I had nothing left,” Bosson told the Herald on Friday after announcing his shock retirement. A genius in the saddle, sometimes troubled out of it, Bosson has threatened retirement before. In his own mind, he may have even believed those times were real. But under the searing Matamata sun on Wednesday, wearing his sweat gear to drip off the kilograms needed to ride at Ellerslie on Thursday, Bosson’s tank hit empty. “I was out there running in my sweat gear and ran past other people enjoying their Christmas Day and I thought ‘what am I doing?’,” said the 44-year-old.“I know I have thought about retiring before but this is it. There is definitely no coming back.”
While I feel for anyone with cancer - I have lost people I cared for - I have to hope that the loss of testosterone will make Bibi give a crap about the people he is bombing.
As for Bibi and his hag wife, I feel nothing for them, they're demons. God works in mysterious ways. I wish the others would research and find out what will save them from cancers, Ivermectin and Fenbendazole along with other things, this is so crazy those people are using chemo which kills them from the inside out.
