Surprises about Planned Parenthood cancer testing
2012-02-04 17:36:00 Planned Parenthood, as this AP story explains, doesn’t actually do mammograms, but refers women out to other sources. Which raises the question: Why is Planned Parenthood accepting any money for mammograms? Doesn’t that make them “middlemen?” Shouldn’t money contributed to Planned Parenthood for mammograms go directly to providers? Wouldn’t that be more efficient use of... Read more »

Passed Away Resulting from Cancer: Poh Nikbar December
2012-01-01 00:08:00 Ed Gein Bullied as a boy and abused by his mother, Ed Gein developed abnormally. It is sad when a child begins life with such a handicap. It is also sad that he died of cancer. Though I would never wish cancer on anyone and before your eyes well up for the last time in 2011, note that Ed Gein was the inspiration behind the fictional serial killers Norman Bates from Psycho, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs. Gein was obsessed with sex, female anatomy, Nazi experiments, necrophilia and cannibalism. As a suspect for a missing woman, authorities found the following in Gein?s home: Four noses Whole human bones and fragments Nine masks of human skin Bowls made from human skulls Ten female heads with the tops sawn off Human skin covering several chair seats Mary Hogan's head in a paper bag Bernice Worden's head in a burlap sack Nine vulvae in a shoe box A belt made from female human nipples Skulls on his bedposts A pair of lips...

New MRI Contrast Agent for Cancer Detection
2011-12-22 15:34:00 A tumor, indicated by the white arrow, is darkened by a glycol chitosan contrast agent. New research from University of Pennsylvania engineers shows a way to coat an iron-based contrast agent so that it only interacts with the acidic environment of tumors, making it safer, cheaper and more effective than existing alternatives. The research was conducted by associate professor Andrew Tsourkas and graduate student Samuel H. Crayton of the department of bioengineering in Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. It was published in the journal ACS Nano. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.-1021/nn202863x?prevSearch=Tsour-kas&searchHistoryKey= By using glycol chitosan — a sugar-based polymer that reacts to acids —  the engineers allowed the nanocarriers to remain neutral when near healthy tissue, but to become ionized in low pH. The change in charge that occurs in the vicinity of acidic tumors causes the nanocarriers to be attracted to and retained at those sites....

Passed Away Resulting from Cancer: Poh Nikbar November
2011-12-02 05:43:00 Peter Jennings My parents have always watched news during dinner. National news anchors rarely change, and when they do?or when the ratings leader gets overtaken?the blogosphere erupts as if Kim Kardashian?s seventh cousin twice removed was spotted on the street. My parents are loyal, following just four anchors throughout my life: Diane Sawyer; Charles Gibson; Bob Schieffer, an old-timer who we thought rocked; and Peter Jennings. Jennings hosted ABC?s World News Tonight for 22 years, a feat only trumped by his 34-letter name: Peter Charles Archibald Ewart Jennings. In case "Archibald? doesn?t do it for you, Jennings dominated nightly news, winning 16 Emmy?s and 2 Peabody Awards. He also earned Canada?s highest civilian honor, along with Sue Johanson, host of Sunday Night Sex Show. A true national prize. Jennings didn?t escape without criticism: Toby Keith and Rush Limbaugh slammed him real good. Additionally, an interesting study demonstrated how Jennings? expressions were politi...

Patriots' Cannon Makes NFL Debut After Beating Cancer
2011-11-22 20:49:00 Marcus Cannon, a former TCU Horned Frog offensive lineman now playing for the new England Patriots, made his NFL debut on Monday November 21 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Normally NFL debuts are a big deal for the players, their family and friends, as well as their past coaches. But there is something special about the debut of the 23-year old Cannon, a 2011 draft pick of the Patriots, for he has beaten cancer, a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in order to make it back to the playing field. Cannon went into the NFL Draft process early this year preparing for what he hoped to be the life of a star NFL lineman. But during some routine medical tests done by the NFL pre-draft it was found he had cancer and they started an aggressive treatment. While the diagnosis scared off many teams it did not dissuade New England and Bill Belichick who are always looking for good lineman. They decided despite the medical history they would draft Cannon because they were assur...

Ice Cube & Krayzie Bone, Until We Rich In our final counseling session, Shari and I speak more about the future than the past: jobs, girls, growing up. ?I don?t want to see you in a suckass job with no relationship,? she says. We say goodbye, hug each other, and I leave. It is a warm, cloudy, spring afternoon when I step outside. The sky is gray, the leaves are green, and oriole birds are out in search of food and mates. I look across Emmet Street at the old, brown brick building, Newcomb Hall, which looks like all the other old buildings at UVA. Students are walking around campus, studying under the trees, at one with nature, just as Thomas Jefferson would have liked. I am reminded of the day I stepped out of the hospital in Minnesota and saw my dad standing near his beloved minivan, eage...

Rise Against, This is Letting Go In my final year at the University of Virginia I took Problems of Personal Adjustment, a supposed gut class. I had to get counseling for my class project?that?s how I justified it. Otherwise I?d be admitting that I was a pussy, one of those people who can?t deal with cancer. Shari?a petite, dirty blond mother of two young girls?was my counselor. Before seeing her I would?ve rather been forced to sit through a Barbara Streisand concert than spend one second with a counselor. Shari thinks I went numb. ?Dealing with cancer can be so overwhelming that we turn off emotions until we get through it. But it doesn?t seem to be working anymore, does it?? Shari challenged me with questions, and I was learning more of me that I didn?t know was there. Even when my class requirement was met, I kept coming. ?If you were force...

Knowing that I would never play tackle football again didn?t mean I couldn?t try. Things changed years ago, when exercise was no longer the answer, and could have been detrimental. There is no way of knowing how much is too much or not enough. I strive to live a healthy lifestyle. I choose poultry and fresh fruit over beef and processed snacks. I exercise like a maniac and am well-rested. I regularly research healthier ways to live. I also gravitate toward a Gus Burger?a greasy hamburger topped with a fried egg?and a whole box of Thin Mint cookies for dessert. I want to stay up drinking myself stupid every Friday and Saturday night. My desire for normalcy causes me to question my new lifestyle. My desire...

Dennis Hopper, Apocalypse Now Dennis Hopper Man, I was shocked to hear the rumor that Dennis Hopper was stoned while filming Francis Ford Coppola?s Apocalypse Now, which is widely considered a top-50 film of all time. Man, he seemed so normal, man, with his long hair and wackjob rants, not to mention the film's trippy cinematography and plot. Hopper?s acting career consisted of over 200 movies including the best sports film, Hoosiers, in which he was nominated for an Academy Award for playing a passionate drunk. He excelled as a villain. He was the bad guy in 24 (never cross Jack Bauer, man) and Speed, opposite the God of Acting Keanu Reeves and also one of my favorite movies. Of all his movies including Apocalypse and Easy Rider?also considered in the top 100?it is Speed that Hopper is best known for according t...

Passed Away Resulting from Cancer: Poh Nikbar September
2011-10-02 05:59:00 Rich Cronin I own many hundreds of CDs, and I purchased more than half of them. My musical taste covers most genres, except opera, bluegrass, and Rebecca Black. I rarely hold back in my book or this blog, and I?m not about to now: I purchased seven albums by Britney, NSync, Backstreet, O-Town, and LFO. I expect my friend PepperoniNip to post a comment berating me, but just know that he also burned me one more NSync and one LFO album. LFO was kind of the shit, and not simply because Jennifer Love Hewitt was in their ?Girl on TV? video. Their lyrics were incredible: ?You're the best girl that I ever did see/ The great Larry Bird Jersey 33,? and, ?When I met you I said my name was Rich/ You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch.? I listened to their self-titled album on repeat on the plane ride to my first Israel trip, just before cancer. I?m sure Hewitt was on repeat in my mind, too. The following summer I listened to their Life Is Good album to and from my radiation sessions...
