Healthy happy you.
Breast cancer is a horrible disease that claims the lives of many daughters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and sisters. Anyone can get breast cancer, and over 12.6% of women will be diagnosed with it at some point in their lives. That's why research that finds medicines and treatments to cure this dreadful epidemic are so vital. I didn't know this, but breast cancer isn't just one disease, but Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple years and at one point in our relationship he brought up the idea of children. He said he "wants life with me and to just let whatever happens happen." After looong nights of talking and discussing the changes it would make in our lives, I Read more
50/50 doesn't really deserve the label "cancer comedy," because it's so much more than that. The film finds humor in the realities of an ordeal that's often treated with kid gloves on screen, but how ever many laughs 50/50 finds (and there are many), the script never mocks the subject matter. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Adam, a guy in his late 20s who's otherwise healthy until the day Read more
The last time we saw the 90210 gang, the kids had graduated and were gearing up for the next chapter in their lives. Now we've got a peek at the season four premiere, and it looks like there will be one last beach hurrah before college comes around — but these carefree pictures reveal more than you might think upon first inspection. For instance, Naomi's bikini bod shows no sign of her Read more
Community's Ken Jeong has had a heck of a Summer after starring in two of the highest-grossing movies of the season, The Hangover Part II and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Now he's about to return to the small screen for a third season of Community as the polarizing Chang, and we had a chance to chat with him at the Summer TCA. He hinted about Chang's different direction and gushed over how Read more
Right around the time my daughter hit the 6-month mark, I freaked in the shower when clumps of hair came into my hands while shampooing. Then I remembered a mom in my postnatal yoga class complaining about gobs of her hair falling out months after giving birth. Losing hair after pregnancy is pretty crappy common, but if you didn't just have a baby and you're concerned that too many strands are Read more
DrSugar is in the house! This week she's discussing possible causes for night sweats. Dear DrSugar, I have been having night sweats and waking up soaking wet about two nights a week. I am only 32, so it better not be menopause! This all started about two months, and interestingly enough I started training for a marathon four months ago. I have been steadily increasing my weekly mileage and have Read more
DrSugar is in the house! This week she's schooling us on skin cancer. Given that summertime is right around the corner and with warmer weather blessing a good part of the country, I figured it was a good time to share some knowledge about how to recognize skin cancers and how to prevent them. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and Read more
There are cartoons and movies to help lil ones reach every milestone in their young lives – from reciting the ABCs, to potty training and becoming a big sibling. But once those markers have been met, what's a mama to do with the stack of DVDs that are gathering dust on top of her television? While it's easy enough to donate them to the local library, a quick trip to the post office will help Read more
Two stories came out this week that show great promise for the fight against breast cancer by ridding the body of breast cancer stem cells. These stem cells have been resistant to chemotherapy treatments and remained in the breast even after the cancer went into remission. Researchers hope that if they can eliminate the stem cells responsible for breast cancer, they can control the spread and Read more
