“I had my ovaries removed at 19 and got skin cancer aged 21”
A woman has told how she made the difficult decision to have her ovaries removed aged 19 to stop her developing cancer. Emily Balck, 24, was diagnosed with Turner syndrome when she was in the womb. The condition makes her five times more likely to develop skin cancer and 30% more likely to develop ovarian cancer had her ovaries removed aged just 19. In addition to having her ovaries removed as a teen, she also had skin cancer on her neck aged 22. Emily from Salem, Oregon, said: “It can be pretty lonely to have the condition and it’s pretty shocking to get cancer at such a young age but I’m not letting it get in the way of living my life to the fullest.”

The new Alzheimer’s drug has given me my life back
Initially, it was simple forgetfulness, not being able to recall names of people or certain objects, but then driving anywhere became a nightmare. I was getting totally lost even going to places I’ve been driving to for 40 years. I also found myself becoming very confused about who I was, and what I was doing which was quite frightening. I’d be in the room with other people, but I wouldn’t be entirely present.

I lost a stone in 14 weeks by doing weights, walking and yoga
This time last year I was feeling really depressed about my weight. In the previous 18 months, I’d put on a huge amount, mainly on my stomach, and because I’m short – just over 5’1” – I looked pregnant. But I was at a total loss about what to do about it; I felt like I ate relatively healthily, opting for low-calorie meals and often avoiding carbs, and hadn’t really changed anything. I put it down to pre-menopausal body changes, but I really wasn’t happy.

Highway Code confusion highlighted as pedestrian fatalities increase
Crossing the road used to be relatively straightforward. Now confusion reigns. Some pedestrians will calmly walk in front of cars, thinking they have the right of way – and that may well be the case. Some drivers will respectfully stop and – quite rightly – beckon anyone on foot to cross unmolested. Other motorists angrily hit the horn if any pesky pedestrian dares get in their way.
