Child Dying of Cancer Leaves Notes Behind

Brooke and Keith Desserich of Cincinnati, Ohio, were told their daughter Elena had 135 days to live. She beat her diagnosis by 121 days.

But during that time, as she fought the cruelest form of pediatric brain cancer, 5-year-old Elena left a powerful legacy.

She began to hide little notes -- hidden in book shelves, CD cases, sock drawers -- for her family to find after she was gone.

"The first time I found a note caught between books, I thought nothing of it," said Keith Desserich, 34, and an entrepreneur. "But then I started to find 20 to 30 notes, and wondered if there was something more to it. One -- 'I love you Mom and Dad' -- was packed in a bag of clothes put away for the winter."

Soon, the family got calls from her grandparents, saying they, too, had colorful hand drawings from Elena. One aunt even found a note written to her chihuahua, which little Elena loved.

Treating the pain epidemic

Chronic pain affects more than 70 million Americans, which makes it more widespread than heart disease, cancer and diabetes combined. It costs the economy more than $100 billion per year. So why don’t more doctors and researchers take it seriously?

That is the challenge raised by a new report from the Mayday Fund, a nonprofit group that studies pain treatment. The report, which been endorsed by an array of medical groups, advocates a revolution in the training of doctors, the financing of research and the education of law-enforcement officials.

“The fact is that people aren’t getting competent and cost-effective treatment for chronic pain,” said Dr. Russell Portenoy, one of the co-chairmen of the panel that prepared the report.

“Don’t assume that your doctor knows what to do to treat your pain,” Dr. Zeltzer advised patients.

She and the other members of the panel urged better pain-management training in medical schools and more money for pain research

The Quandary With Mammograms: Get a Screening, or Just Skip It?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:32:26 GMT

clipped by: Lexica
clipper's remarks: More:

Some researchers estimate that as many as one-third of cancers picked up by screening would not be fatal even if left untreated. But right now, nobody knows which ones.

So what are women supposed to do?

…Hoping to make sense of it all, I consulted several experts. All said mammograms were still important — after all, breast cancer kills 40,000 women a year in this country — but they differed about who really needed them and how often. All agreed that research was badly needed to figure out how to tell dangerous tumors from the so-called indolent ones…

Dr. Formenti said the emphasis on screening by groups like the cancer society might have misled the public into thinking that screening could prevent cancer. “It’s a giant misconception,” she said. “…I have to confess that I’m happy if the public gets offended or infuriated” by the debate…"I want taxpayers to say: ‘You have no clarity. Study it. Stop telling us you are a good girl if you get a mammogram.’ ”

Here we go again. Another study raises questions about the benefits of mammograms, and another set of confusing statements issue forth from experts.
Last month, Dr. Otis Brawley, the American Cancer Society’s chief medical officer, told The New York Times that the medical profession had exaggerated the benefits of cancer screening, and that if a woman refused mammography, “I would not think badly of her, but I would like her to get it.”
Then, the cancer society issued a statement saying women over 40 should keep having mammograms every year, because seven studies have shown that the test decreases the risk of death from breast cancer.
But the statement also said mammography can “miss cancers that need treatment, and in some cases finds disease that does not need treatment.” In other words, the test may lead to some women being treated, and being exposed to serious side effects, for cancers that would not have killed them.

Health Plan Forces Uninsurable to Wait 6 Months

Democrats' Plan to Help 'Uninsurables' Requires 6-Month Wait

In addition to a six-month wait to qualify for the health insurance program, there's a more fundamental issue -- whether $5 billion set aside for the three-year program is enough.

Under the health care bills in Congress, you could apply for coverage through a new high-risk pool that President Barack Obama promises would immediately start serving patients with pre-existing medical problems.

Wait a second. Read the fine print. You may have to be uninsured for six months to qualify.

"If you are a cancer patient and have cancer now, you can't wait six months to go into a plan because your condition can go from bad to death," said Stephen Finan, a policy expert with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. He called the waiting period in the Senate bill "unacceptable."

Carly Fiorina Enters California Senate Race to Unseat Barbara Boxer

clipper's remarks: I feel absolutely great and I am raring to go."

True to her word, she wasted no time going directly after Boxer. "Sometimes I wonder whether California even has two U.S. Senators," Fiorina said. "There's Dianne Feinstein and then there's...what's her name?"

Fiorina charged that during Boxer's 17 years in Washington, she had passed only three pieces of legislation and written two fiction novels. "What do you say we work together to give Barbara Boxer the chance next year to be a full-time novelist?"

The Boxer campaign responded immediately to the assertion that Boxer had not produced meaningful legislation in the Senate. "Fiorina is just plain wrong about the Boxer record. More than 1,000 of Senator Boxer's provisions have been adopted and enacted into law," the campaign said in a statement.

During a question and answer session following her speech, Fiorina was asked if she favors term limits. Yes, she said, she favors them and believes Boxer demonstrates why limits

Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of technology giant Hewlett-Packard, announced her campaign for the U.S. Senate Wednesday. Her entry into the race as a business-oriented, moderate Republican immediately raised the stakes in the 2010 California Senate contest in both the primary, which will include conservative assemblyman Chuck DeVore, as well as the general election contest against incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.

Speaking to supporters in Orange County, Fiorina promised to use her business expertise to create jobs, cut government waste, stop out-of-control federal spending and trim the national deficit. "Let's start with living within our own means. The rest of us do, why shouldn't Washington?" she said.

Fiorina was diagnosed with breast cancer nine months ago and mentioned her close-cropped hair before starting her speech. "Let me answer the question, what's with the hair?" she said. "After surgery and chemotherapy, breast cancer is officially behind me.

NEW HOPE FOR CANCER PATIENTS

clipper's remarks: SCIENTISTS have come a step closer to destroying breast cancer cells without killing healthy cells.

SCIENTISTS have come a step closer to destroying breast cancer cells without killing healthy cells.

Experts around the globe are looking at a range of ways to do this, including new drugs and special lasers.

But now a team in Israel has demonstrated that a drugs therapy already shown to work in genetic breast cancer may also kill other breast cancer cells without damaging healthy ones.

A paper in the journal Breast Cancer Research reveals the drugs can block an enzyme that all cells need to thrive.

However, a team led by Professor Cohen-Armon of Tel-Aviv University found that cancer cells seem more reliant on this enzyme, known as PARP, than other cells.

The team hope the discovery will one day work on other cancers and British research led by Dr Alan Ashworth suggests the drugs may in fact work on a far wider number of cancers.

But he stresses that tests have so far been carried out only on mice and treatment is a long way off.
