Lisa Ray is Suffering from Multiple Myeloma (Cancer)

Thursday, September 17, 2009

The beautiful model and Kasoor fame actress, who has worked in some bollywood and hollywood movies is suffering from a rare cancer of White Blood Cells called Multiple Myeloma.

On july 23, she was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and from july 3, her treatment is started, she is just 37 years old. One of her directors has said that at this point Lisa truly wants to raise the awareness and funding to make sure this incurable disease finds a cure.
This news was posted by herself on her blog called Lisa's Yellow Diaries. The actress said, “For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time. And you just know when something is not kosher with your body. So when I sat there with Bobcat — my life partner and reservoir ofYellow—and got the news I didn’t react and I didn’t cry. I’m an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though.”
Here is the link of Lisa's personal Blog; http://lisaraniray.wordpress.com .

Very soon i will post about what is Multiple Myeloma, its features, Complications, and Treatment.

Obama's smoking habit and his family's cancer history

Thursday, September 10, 2009

US President Barack Obama's smoking habit and his family's cancer history were cited as being the biggest (and only) health risks facing him prior to his presidential appointment. But now, with his seemingly non-stop travel schedule and unfathomable amounts of stress, he is at high risk for a slew of other health complications. What can we learn from Obama about staying healthy into our 40's, 50's and beyond and what should we do differently? According to President Obama's primary care physician (a general internist): The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.

His family history is pertinent for his mother's death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Of course a person's health is detrimental into his running for the US Presidency. Now that Obama is President, his health is more important than ever.
