TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH: Rectal cancer treatment works well
DEAR DR. ROACH: My daughter, who’s 44 years old, was recently diagnosed with rectal cancer. It’s stage III and contained. She has no cancer in her liver, lymph nodes, rectum or colon. Her doctor is going to start her on a more aggressive chemo than he first thought of, then radiation.

Alpha-gal meat allergy faded over four years

When I moved to North Carolina, my new doctor requested further testing. The lab had no idea what tests to run. I eventually grew out of the allergy over four years.
