Sharing again because I shot this with simple assets. Love being able to share great breakthroughs on social media @YaleCancer @Dr_AmerZeidan #AML 2 pills = remission.
A 'super responder' in the Yale #clinicaltrial, 83 y/o Pamela Young has been in remission for 3.5 years following the pill-based regimen for #acutemyeloidleukemia. āIāve been feeling great the whole time Iāve been treated,ā she says. āIt turned out to be a very positive thing.ā

This is beautiful. What an amazing human to share all of this.
WABC's Bill Ritter opens up about stepping away from the anchor desk after going public with his early-stage Alzheimerās diagnosis and the outpouring of love heās received: āThis disease doesnāt care about your politics ā weāre all in this together.ā

On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.
The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.
Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.
He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.
He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.
A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.

Did you know Apple Watch detects falls and alerts 911 and emergency contacts? Elderly people who live alone might benefit from this. My mom had a false alarm today, but wow, what a good drill to know. 911 called her and the watch alerted us.

Thank you @LaVarsovienne for this opportunity on this topic.
Cancerguard, a liquid biopsy for 50 cancers, can provide an āearly alertā for deadly disease before symptoms appear, according to its manufacturer.
The blood test found this woman's hidden tumor.
Doctors explain how it works and if itās worth taking
