But the floodgates really opened last year when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 years old. “It feels really dumb to feel hopeful.”About a third of cancer patients struggle with depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders, although these conditions often go undetected and undiagnosed. But this neglect comes at a significant cost, with mortality rates up to 39% higher among cancer patients with depression when compared to those without mental illness. In a 2023 study of 230,000 patients, 10% of people had depression or anxiety before their cancer diagnosis, and 22% were diagnosed afterward. Similarly, hormone-blocking drugs, which are commonly used for prostate and breast cancer, can contribute to fatigue and mood changes, while cancer surgeries can profoundly affect one’s body image and sense of self.

Albuquerque, New Mexico AP —Jurors in New Mexico have awarded a man more than $412 million in a medical malpractice case that involved a men’s health clinic that operates in several states. The man’s attorneys celebrated Monday’s verdict, saying they are hopeful it will prevent other men from falling victim to a scheme that involved fraud and what they described as dangerous penile injections. That is a very egregious breach of their fiduciary duty,” said Lori Bencoe, one of the lawyers who represented the plaintiff. The clinic is accused of misdiagnosing him and unnecessarily treating him with “invasive erectile dysfunction shots” that caused irreversible damage. According to court records, jurors found that fraudulent and negligent conduct by the defendants resulted in damages to the plaintiff.

☆ UK lawmakers vote to allow assisted dying

London CNN —British members of parliament have voted to legalize assisted dying, approving a contentious proposal that would make the United Kingdom one of a small handful of nations to allow terminally ill people to end their lives. The bill must still clear the House of Lords and parliamentary committees, but Friday’s vote marked the most important hurdle. Canada, New Zealand, Spain and most of Australia allow assisted dying in some form, as do several US states including Oregon, Washington and California. MPs were given a free vote on the issue, meaning they can support either side according to their conscience, with no political ramifications. Polling indicates that a comfortable majority of the public supports assisted dying.

Many job seekers complain of inconsistent behavior from hiring managers, CNBC reported, being flattered and praised one minute and ghosted the next. "They may overhype your chances to keep you interested," Barber said. It may not always be a scheme, though, and some recruiters and hiring managers may be love-bombing without realizing it.

Germany is battling an ongoing manufacturing downturn that has turned it into the bloc's growth laggard, while disputes over its budget and long-term fiscal strategy caused its government to collapse earlier this month. However, French borrowing costs have climbed above Germany's this year as political instability in the country spooked markets. "Compromise on the French budget remains possible. The term "bond vigilantes" refers to bond market investors who protest against monetary or fiscal policy they don't like by selling bonds, thereby increasing borrowing costs for the government. Beyond the short-term budget debate, Barclays found medium-term risk asymmetry was "not great" for French markets, and that "concerns about political instability and long-term fiscal trajectory may persist."
