Actress opens up about fighting stage 3 breast cancer at age 19 – Yahoo! Voices

Miranda McKeon, the 19-year-old star of "Anne With an E," said she felt like she was in her own movie when she was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. McKeon was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer after she felt an unusual lump in her breast. "I think it's one of those movie-like moments in someone's life," McKeon said of her diagnosis in an interview with ABC News' Kaylee Hartung Tuesday on "Good Morning America." "I just didn't feel like it was real." Before McKeon could begin chemotherapy to treat her cancer, she had to confront a potential complication of treatment, her fertility. "It was explained to me that with chemotherapy treatment, there is risk of infertility down the line," she said. "And fertility was not something that I had ever considered." McKeon said she went thro...

Long COVID symptoms cause may have been uncovered in new research – Fox News

Lingering COVID-19 symptoms in "long haulers" may be caused by an overload of inflammatory cells "trapped" inside insoluble microscopic blood clots, according to researchers at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.   Professor Resia Pretorius, a member of the university’s Physiological Sciences Department, made the finding with her research team while studying micro clots in blood samples of individuals with "long COVID."  "We found high levels of various inflammatory molecules trapped in micro clots present in the blood of individuals with long COVID," Pretorius stated in a news release. "Some of the trapped molecules contain clotting proteins such as fibrinogen, as well as alpha (2)-antiplasmin".  A study found "long COVID" symptoms may be caused by trapped inflammator...

Dave Chappelle Says DaBaby Offending LGBT was Worse Than Killing Someone – TMZ

Play video content Netflix DaBaby killing a man wasn't even nearly as offensive as him going after the LGBT community, which torpedoed his career ... a disparity Dave Chappelle says doesn't sit well with him. The comedian's got a new stand-up special on Netflix, and right off the bat ... he starts making jokes about DB falling from grace after going on a homophobic rant, which Dave notes might've been more of a cardinal sin than actually ending someone's life. Of course, he's talking about a legal case DaBaby was wrapped up in some years ago -- when cops say he was involved in a fatal shooting at a Walmart in North Carolina...

Maine reports 897 new cases of COVID-19, 10 deaths over 3-day period – Press Herald

Maine on Tuesday reported 897 new COVID-19 cases and 10 additional deaths. The new cases represent positive cases from Saturday, Sunday and Monday as the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention does not report case counts on weekends. The total also includes some cases dating back to late September because of a backlog in screening positive test results. Since the pandemic began, Maine has reported 92,365 cases of COVID-19, and 1,036 deaths. The Maine CDC also in recent weeks has been working through backlogs, so even though the nearly 300 cases per day over the past three days represents a decline in cases, when workers catch up with the backlog during the week the average daily case counts end up higher. The seven-day average of daily new cases in Maine stood at 597.1...
