Working on Wellness, One Color at a Time

I spent some time volunteering at a local hospital's "Wellness Center" today, helping people on chemotherapy, in need of bone marrow transplants or other blood work, to feel better.

I met Bobo the Medical clown after helping a little girl to paint a picture (he usually wears a silly pink hat and tie, though his official photo looks rather serious)
and chatting with a woman who enjoys good jokes.

I can't cure anybody, but doctors know that happier people make more curable patients. Helping someone to smile is the major achievement of my efforts

Good News About Hodgkin's Disease and COPD!

28 Cheshvan 5768

The New England Journal of Medicine has an upbeat report about improvements in Hodgkin's Disease care in the November 8 2007 edition. It's writen in medicalese, but it is good news about survival rates and a possible cure. See: Chemotherapy plus Involved-Field Radiation in Early-Stage Hodgkin’s Disease http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/357/19/1916

Yesterday was a big day for medical breakthrough news. According to a November 8 2007 update from the National Institutes of Health, 12 million people presently have a diagnosis for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), a serious lung disease. Another 12 million people don’t know they have it!

Quick facts about COPD:
Anyone over age 40 who smokes or who has smoked is at risk for developing COPD.

People with long-term exposure to lung irritants such as chemicals, dust, or fumes in the workplace; secondhand smoke or other pollutants; and people with certain genetic conditions are also at risk.

A simple breathing test called Spirometry diagnoses COPD in a doctor's office.
Many people at risk for COPD aren’t aware of the symptoms.

Health care professionals don’t always look for the early symptoms and warning signs

COPD happens when blockages of lung passages makes it hard for oxygen to move in and out of the lungs. People are left struggling to breathe properly.

Newer treatments for COPD help people to live longer, more active lives.
