Boy Meets World’ star Danielle Fishel reveals breast cancer diagnosis
August 19, 2024
Boy Meets World alumna Danielle Fishel [43] has revealed she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer. “I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer,” she told listeners on Monday’s episode of her Pod Meets World podcast. “It is very, very, very early,” the actress continued. “It’s technically stage zero. To be specific, I was diagnosed with high-grade DCIS with micro-invasion. And I’m going to be fine. I’m having surgery to remove it. I’m going to be on some follow-up treatment. I’ve had to make a lot of decisions over the last couple of days.”
WJHG News Director and Anchor Donna Bell begins battle with breast cancer
August 23, 2024
Panama City Beach, Fla. - On NewsChannel 7 at 11 Friday, News Director and Anchor Donna Bell shared her breast cancer diagnosis with viewers. She hopes her message helps educate others on the importance of early detection and awareness. “As many of you know, I lost my mom to breast cancer, so this is a difficult one for me. I don’t think it was a coincidence that I found my cancer on a mammogram on what would have been her 80th birthday. That mammogram was just seven and a half months after a normal mammogram. I felt like something was wrong, and I got it checked out. My doctor listened to my concerns and sent me for a mammogram that caught this at a very early stage.”

Yankees OF Alex Verdugo is reportedly allergic to his own tattoos, batting gloves
August 28, 2024
New York, NY - Alex Verdugo reportedly has a problem. Yes, the New York Yankees outfielder has struggled this season, but an article from NJ.com's Randy Miller revealed there could be an odd reason for that: Verdugo is allergic to the chemicals cobalt and chromate. Which isn't great when those chemicals are used to make your batting gloves. And your tattoos. As Verdugo reportedly described it, he has been dealing with sores and pain in his hands and fingers for the past three seasons, to the point that he wraps his palms with gauze and knuckles with medical tape before every game. Before the 2021 season, Verdugo was a career .290/.345/.458 hitter with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox. This year, he is hitting .237/.297/.368, the worst marks of his career over a full season.
‘Sopranos’ star Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s ‘brave’ son walks out of hospital 33 days after ICU ‘nightmare’
August 19, 2024
Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s 10-year-old son, Beau, is home after spending 33 days in the hospital. The “Sopranos” star’s oldest child was diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and went through a “nightmare” experience in the ICU. But over the weekend, Sigler revealed on Instagram that Beau was finally “busting out” of the hospital. Sigler revealed her son’s ADEM diagnosis on Instagram earlier this month. ADEM is a very rare, neurological immune response that sometimes kids can get after contracting a simple virus. “4 weeks ago, what seemed like a normal virus for our son, turned into a nightmare,” Sigler wrote on Instagram on Aug. “Beau has what we believe to be, ADEM. To say this has been hard, is an understatement, and I’ve never felt more broken,” she added. Beau was brought to the ICU where he lost his ability to speak and, at one point, his ability to move his legs. Beau was eventually taken out of the ICU, but he had to stay in the hospital until his recent release.

August 17, 2024
Nashville, TN - In an Instagram post on Saturday, Aug. 17, the Father of the Bride star, 52, told her followers that she underwent an operation to repair damage to her laryngeal nerve after struggling with her voice for nearly two years. "Almost two years ago I lost my voice onstage at my Alzheimer’s event in Nashville. It was embarrassing & scary & it never quite came back," Williams-Paisley continued in the post, explaining the origin of the health issue. "It’s been a challenging couple of years, but we finally got to the bottom of it. I have damage to my laryngeal nerve," she shared, adding that she tried "everything" she could to heal her voice on her own, so she doesn't need tips from her fans and followers. "I was finally able to have surgery this week at @vanderbilthealth with expert surgeons, & it is sounding so much better!!" the Hallmark star wrote. "I have a bada** scar that’s smiling at me across my neck."
I'm not hoping for this, but what will we do if literally half the population dies in the next 3-5 years?
I wish there was a way to tell those battling cancers about Joe Tippins protocol, Im sure it would help them to rid themselves of their cancers.
