NHS boss announces retirement due to ill health
January 8, 2024
The chief executive of a Staffordshire hospitals trust has announced she is to retire due to ill health.
Tracy Bullock, who will have led University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM) for more than five years when she steps down in June, has had a 40-year career in the NHS.
She was diagnosed with a long-term health condition 18 months ago, and told colleagues she would be taking ill health retirement as a result.
She said she had given the decision considerable thought and that it had come with mixed emotions.

Winterwatch presenter returns to show a month on after heart attack
January 3, 2024
The Springwatch and Autumnwatch star has been a part of the Watches line-up since 2019, but he was forced to take a break after his health scare. He revealed his heart attack back in December, and admitted at the time that he was on a six-mile run when he started experiencing symptoms. After making it back to his car, Iolo managed to call the emergency services, but after being told about a lengthy wait, he then contacted wife Ceri to take him to hospital. The doctors were “mystified” about why he suffered a heart attack, and the nature expert continued: “It must have been some kind of fault that was in me anyway – but then why didn’t it manifest itself earlier? I just don’t know. Maybe getting older and still trying to push my body wasn’t the wisest thing to do, but it’s a run I’ve done twice a week for 15 years.”

Bradford Bulls’ Tom Holmes diagnosed with rare form of cancer
January 5, 2024
West Yorkshire - Bradford Bulls ace Tom Holmes [right] has announced via social media that he has been diagnosed with Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like T-cell Lymphoma (SPTCL), a rare form of cancer. The 27-year-old – who has also played for Castleford Tigers, Featherstone Rovers & Huddersfield Giants among others – confirmed the diagnosis with a post on his Instagram account – @tomholmes96. Holmes wrote: “There’s been a lot of speculation recently about my health, so just wanted to let people know from myself personally what’s actually going on. I saw rapid decline in my health just as the season ended. After countless appointments, hospitals visits, biopsies & scans, the specialists told me to prepare for the worst & informed me that what we’re looking at is an extremely rare type of cancer (SPTCL) which would be treated by chemotherapy. This cancer effects less that 1% of people, so due to this, there is so much unknown still by the doctors themselves. There is still more testing I’ve got to go through & we’re working on a treatment plan. I’m trying to remain hopeful as the specialists are still looking at all options in the small hope that there’s something less sinister at play, however it’s looking less likely to be anything else at the moment & chemotherapy would have to start soon.”

Emmerdale reveals heartbreaking cancer diagnosis for Chas
January 7, 2024
Emmerdale [ITV] has announced an emotional breast cancer storyline for Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), who is devastated when she discovers a lump in her breast.
Chas's diagnosis will be heartbreaking and frightening for her, especially since her mother Faith Dingle’s (Sally Dexter) from the same disease.
Over the coming weeks, the barmaid will be seen having a fun fling with the village doctor Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) until he tells her he has felt a lump in her breast.
His announcement shatters the mood, and once alone Chas is consumed with fear. Although Dr Liam does his best to reassure her that it could be a cyst or something benign and not cancer, he does insist she follow this up without delay by making an appointment to see her GP.
Following a trip to the breast clinic for diagnostic tests, Chas is given the nightmare news that she has triple negative breast cancer.
Distraught by the news, Chas initially decides to keep her diagnosis to herself. As a mother to young daughter Eve, she is keen to stay healthy, and with her mother’s history running through her mind, Chas is well aware of the potential implications.

Soul destroying is an understatement, yet the folk that should be taking an interest and banging on table tops are still as eerily silent as a graveyard, although those that have been injured are deliberately silenced and made to disappear, like Trudeaus brain. Maybe Mark you can offer up some rationale as to why there is still a massive reluctance to make this front and centre. I mean according to estimates this is 17M souls lost since the frankenshot rollout which is democide / genocide no matter which way you slice it. Happy New Year to you and Yours!!!
