USA Field Hockey Olympian Karlie Kisha opens up about her life’s love story: husband, cancer surgery, and shipping off to Paris
July 11, 2024
Karlie Kisha is not one who enjoys talking about herself, but she’s getting used to it. She’s been doing interviews regularly for the last two months because she has a story that many people want to hear. Kisha, 28, is a member of the United States National Field Hockey team that will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, so that alone has been drawing attention to her. But before she was selected to be an Olympian, on May 6, Kisha was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. She had surgery to remove the thyroid and lymph nodes on May 17, when the team was competing in the FIH Pro League in Antwerp, Belgium. Everything is fine now. She has gone through treatments and a body scan earlier this week that revealed no issues. The next checkup is in three months. Kisha, formerly Karlie Heistand, said that she has no family history of cancer. Papillary thyroid cancer is one of the most common thyroid cancers – and fortunately, responds extremely well to treatment. Karlie was up and running in a matter of weeks after the surgery.

Margaret Josephs reveals husband Joe Benigno was ‘diagnosed with prostate cancer’
July 23, 2024
Margaret Josephs and her husband Joe Benigno were dealing with a lot while filming Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and it’s not over yet. Margaret recently shared concerns about Joe’s health after a test showed irregularities that hinted at prostate cancer. Margaret confessed that her husband was “diagnosed with prostate cancer” and they’ve been dealing with that since the season wrapped. During a recent chat with Bravo, the 57-year-old talked about Joe’s medical diagnosis and treatment options. Margaret and her castmates gathered to share their feelings about Season 14, and that’s when she revealed Joe’s cancer diagnosis. “We had some shocking things happen on the show with his health,” said the RHONJ star. “He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which we were going through the tests when we were filming.” During the emotional scene with Margaret and Joe, his doctor warned that there was a chance the 70-year-old could have cancer, but they were waiting on the results to confirm. Sadly, that was the case for Joe, but the good news is that it was caught at an early stage. “He actually does have prostate cancer and they’re just doing active surveillance right now, not treating it,” explained the Jersey Housewife.

Max Fried sent to injured list with worrisome diagnosis
July 21, 2024
The Atlanta Braves dropped a bombshell this morning. Lefty Max Fried [30] has been placed on the injured list with what the team is calling "left forearm neuritis", and that diagnosis is worrisome. This involves the nerves. "Neuritis" is, simply explained, inflammation of a nerve or nerves. There are several reasons this can happen, from a pinched or compressed nerve to some sort of infection or illness. We don't know more and likely won't about the cause of it unless we hear it from Fried itself during a media availability.

Continuing to battle cancer, UNC's Tylee Craft retires from football
July 20, 2024
Tylee Craft is retiring from football, at least for now. A class of 2020 wide receiver from Sumter, SC, Craft was diagnosed with stage four large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma on March 14, 2022. It is a rare form of lung cancer and forced him to step away from competitively playing football. He has been through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and numerous forms of treatment ever since, all the while remaining on the football roster and being around the team as much as possible. A member of the 2020 recruiting class, Craft was a 2-star prospect at Rivals. Now at 6-foot-5, Craft committed to UNC on April 19, 2019.
No age reported.

‘My prognosis is incredibly bright’: Nebraska lawmaker continues blood cancer treatments
July 24, 2024
A Nebraska state senator said her ongoing cancer treatments of a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma have been going “very well,” and she looks forward to getting back to the statehouse. State Sen. Jane Raybould [65] of Lincoln, a first-term lawmaker in her second year in office, was diagnosed with splenic marginal zone lymphoma at the beginning of the year, a rare and slow-growing type of blood cancer. She said she has a great medical team behind her as she nears what she hopes is the end of her treatments. “My prognosis is incredibly bright,” Raybould told the Nebraska Examiner.
It’s hard to care about people who had all kinds of connections- they had every opportunity to know the truth. I know several people who were brave and lost jobs over the scam injections. People who didn’t have anywhere near the money these idiots had.
"My prognosis is incredibly bright."
That's what they are telling her while they extract as much money as they can until she's dead.
