☆ Op-ed: The financial toxicity of cancer is growing. Here's what can be done to reduce it
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Karen Knudsen | American Cancer Society Ceo | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Cancer drains individuals of their physical, emotional, and financial health. In a study from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, nearly half of cancer patients and survivors reported being extraordinarily burdened by medical debt. Financial hardship caused by cancer can also contribute to "financial toxicity," wherein the cost of treatment forces individuals to make tradeoffs that impact their chances of survival. Not only does financial toxicity of cancer care affect the individual, it can also negatively impact their employer. Some may not be aware they're eligible for screening, and stigma and fear associated with cancer screening hinders some people from seeking care.

States such as Maine, New Mexico, and Utah have seen the largest percent increases in median gross rent — which includes rent and utility costs — between 2022 and 2023. The median housing cost for renters increased from $1,354 to $1,406 during this period. The census data covers increases between 2022 and 2023, and more recent data shows that cost growth has continued this year. According to national Redfin data, rents increased slightly nationwide in September 2024 compared to the year prior, at 0.9%, and are now $1,645 for all rental sizes. The ACS reveals some racial inequities among cost-burdened households.

☆ Women will soon be notified about their breast density after a mammogram. Here’s what that means
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-09 | by ( Jacqueline Howard | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

“The second reason that breast density is important is because having dense breast tissue raises a woman’s level of risk of developing breast cancer,” Feigin said. Breast cancer survivor JoAnn Pushkin, 64, has advocated for more than a decade that there be a national requirement for women to be notified of their breast density. Now I have lymphedema, and all because it was detected at that later stage,” said Pushkin, who has testified before the FDA about breast density and co-created the website DenseBreast-info.org, which features resources on breast density. The new FDA changes require facilities to provide patients with information about their breast density and include specific language in the mammogram result letter to explain how breast density can influence the accuracy of a mammogram. A study published in 2022 found that the breast cancer death rate dropped by 43% within three decades, from 1989 to 2020, translating to 460,000 fewer breast cancer deaths during that time.

Joey Graceffa, a YouTuber known for his vlogs and lifestyle videos, shared that he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. Recently, Graceffa said he noticed the mark had scabbed over and a doctor conducted a skin biopsy and determined it was cancer. I'm being very level-headed about this, I think because it's a more treatable type of skin cancer." The American Cancer Society describes basal cell carcinoma as the “most common type of skin cancer.” The cancer “usually develop[s] on sun-exposed areas, especially the face, head, neck, and arms,” the ACS says on its website. Graceffa said he is trying to stay positive and asked for suggestions from any followers who have also had this type of skin cancer and had it treated.

However, when we relocated to the UK, as an educator myself, I knew that I wanted an International Baccalaureate (IB) education for all of my children moving forward. Our twins, both now 18, have just completed their final year of the IB program and will attend university. In those middle years at school, children are supposed to be focussing on learning and developing key skills. The IB has prepared my children better for universityWhile my older twins have found the IB challenging, the program has also nurtured their passion for learning, encouraging their intellectual curiosity. This is because an IB school gets students involved in group projects, independent research, and advanced writing assignments throughout their education.
