In a third photo, Stamos and Coulier’s wife Melissa Coulier are seen kissing his head. “You’re handling this with so much strength and positivity— it’s inspiring,” Stamos wrote in the caption. “In that time I’ve had three surgeries, I’ve had chemo, I’ve lost a little bit of hair,” he said, patting his head in an interview with NBC.

CNN —For cancer patients, the hair loss that may come with treatment can be hard to deal with. With some types of the disease, such as breast cancer, hair loss can occur in 99.9% of chemotherapy patients. The cost to insurers is projected to be around $1,700 per helmet; in comparison, a course of scalp cooling treatment typically costs between $1,500 and $3,000. Changing the experience of chemoAccording to Andrea Smith, nurse leader at Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Breast and Imaging Center, a cancer treatment center in New York City, the fear of hair loss affects treatment decisions. Whatever the method, avoiding hair loss is a “game-changer” for cancer treatment, Smith added.

The idea behind a high-risk pool was to provide a safety net for people with pre-existing conditions struggling to find coverage. The high-risk pools, however, were critically underfunded, making monthly premiums for some patients double what they would be for a healthy individual, Cox said. “If you got into a high-risk pool, you might have had an exclusion on your coverage for six to 12 months,” Cox said. “When it doesn’t, it collapses.”Graves said that the U.S. could move back to a high-risk pool model but it would require “a massive amount of government subsidies to work.”“They would basically have to infuse the high-risk pool with enough subsidies to keep premiums affordable for people,” he said. “We had isolated pre-existing pools for the past 25 years, and they don’t work.”

With insufficient help from health insurance or Social Security, medical bills eat up any savings or income they have. Jones, who gets $2,200 a month in Social Security, has had to take on part-time work, which made her ineligible for some federal assistance. She paid for chemo out of pocket, spending her way through her retirement savings and maxing out her credit cards. Amend said it's crucial for older Americans to believe everything will be OK, noting "your mindset perpetuates what your outcome will be."

☆ Women will soon be notified about their breast density after a mammogram. Here’s what that means

“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.
