Eugénie Lacroix, a Quebec woman diagnosed with breast cancer at 46 years old, is urging the province to expand access to earlier screening as advocates call for changes to a program that currently targets women aged 50 to 74. Now living with stage 4 breast cancer, Lacroix hopes sharing her experience will push Quebec’s next government to act on recommendations to extend organized screening to younger women.

We report the case of a 19-year-old Saudi man who presented with a four-day history of cough, whitish sputum, and shortness of breath. Despite relatively mild symptoms and preserved oxygen saturation, chest imaging showed extensive bilateral pulmonary calcification. High-resolution computed tomography demonstrated diffuse sand-like calcified micronodules, interlobular septal thickening with a crazy-paving pattern, and the black pleura sign. Bronchoalveolar lavage cytology revealed microliths with multinucleated giant cells, while genetic testing identified a pathogenic variant in the SLC34A2 gene, supporting the diagnosis. In this patient, the relatively mild clinical presentation contrasted with the extensive radiological abnormalities. The complementary findings from imaging, bronchoalveolar lavage cytology, and the available genetic result supported the diagnosis without the need for surgical lung biopsy. Following completion of the diagnostic workup, the patient was referred for lung transplantation evaluation, and genetic screening of family members was recommended.

Chanelle Lalonde, 30, travelled to Spain to undergo four surgeries to treat lipedema.

(Courtesy photos)As told to Alina Jaffer by Chanelle Lalonde"I know what's going on. I think I figured it out," I shouted, making my way to my friend's kitchen the morning after a girls' night out. If I could have run down the stairs of her tiny Montreal home, I would have. Instead, I inched down one step at a time, wincing each time my swollen feet hit the ground. I had to tell her about my discovery. During a routine doom-scroll on Instagram, I had stumbled upon an influencer discussing her battle with lipedema and her strange relationship with weight loss. Her fat, like mine, was not soft and squishy. Whenever I run my palm across my thigh, it feels like I am smuggling a bag of marbles under my skin. If my brother playfully pokes my arm, I yelp as if he's punched me. When the cat jumps into my lap, I grit my teeth and wait for a purple-blue bruise the next day.

Country star diagnosed with rare blood cancer after health scare: ‘One day at a time’Digital Content ManagerNASHVILLE, Tenn. —Charles Kelley, the singer and songwriter best known as a founding member of the country trio Lady A, revealed he’s been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. The 44-year-old Grammy winner shared the news on Instagram this week, saying that doctors have diagnosed him with multiple myeloma – a rare blood cancer in which abnormal plasma cells grow in the bone marrow. Kelley said it started with him going to the doctor to address a few “random” rib fractures, which prompted several blood tests from doctors.

His diagnosis does not mean an end to the music. "I can still work. I think physically I will feel like myself,” he said.
