Brennan Elliott’s Wife Shares Update 2 Years After Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis
March 6, 2024
Two years after receiving the stunning news that her stomach cancer had progressed to stage 4, Camila Row, wife of longtime Hallmark star Brennan Elliott, is breathing a “big sigh of relief” over her latest test results and marking an important milestone: surviving and thriving beyond the “expiration date” she was originally given. After a January surgery and undergoing 10 rounds of a new chemotherapy drug, which Row has documented on her private Instagram account, she recently had scans to determine whether the latest chemo regimen has kept her cancer from spreading. On March 4, 2024, Row posted a screenshot of the radiology report, with the word “stable” highlighted in three places. Row was initially diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer in 2018 and underwent successful treatment, which included chemotherapy and having her “complete stomach removed,” she shared in an interview with the Hope for Stomach Cancer advocacy group. However, in early 2022, Elliott told People that his wife’s cancer later returned and spread, resulting in a stage 4 diagnosis. In the two years since, Row has undergone many surgeries and innovative treatments at City of Hope Cancer Center in Los Angeles, determined to beat the odds.

Nitin Sawhney rushed to hospital after “collapsing in a pool of blood”
March 7, 2024
Nitin Sawhney has revealed that he was “rushed to hospital” recently after suffering a heart attack. The 59-year-old musician, producer and composer – who has worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Sting and Brian Eno – shared a lengthy message on X/Twitter yesterday (March 6) about his serious health issue. It came after Sawhney told his followers on Monday (March 4) that he was “about to go through something pretty major”, but said he couldn’t disclose any details. “Wish me luck,” he wrote in the post. In a follow-up tweet, the musician said he had “decided to explain [himself]” further “after much reflection”. “A few days ago, out of nowhere, I had a heart attack. Nuts…,” he began. “I was rushed to hospital and the NHS put a stent in one of the arteries leading to my heart, after which I was kept in to await a similar operation (which I was referring to in my quoted post) on another artery.” Sawhney continued: “Both ops have gone well and the NHS were fantastic. I will need a third, bigger operation next month but one day at a time I reckon… I weight train 3-4 times a week, regularly kick-box, eat healthily and had no history of heart disease. When I spoke to the doctor, he said it was probably a genetic predisposition… Basically, as a British Asian I have a significantly higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease or heart attacks. My dad had a triple heart bypass, my mum has had two attacks and three of my uncles had heart attacks with one dying on the spot.” Sawhney added: “The point is there has been an alarming rise in fatalities from heart disease recently.. particularly amongst British Asians. So… if you are Asian or, to be honest, in any vulnerable group… get your heart health checked out. It could save your life. You might not see something like this coming… I didn’t.”

Kilkenny’s mayor reveals prostate cancer diagnosis as he urges all men to get checked regularly
March 7, 2024
The Mayor of Kilkenny, Joe Malone, has revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The Fianna Fáil councillor underwent four-hour key-hole surgery in the Mater Hospital in Dublin last Friday and is now urging all men to go to their GPs and get checked regularly. “I underwent an MRI and biopsy tests and was officially diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. I wasn’t really surprised when I was given the news that I had prostate cancer as I knew something was there,” explained Mayor Malone. “It was asked if I wanted to do radiotherapy but I declined that offer and last Friday I went to Dublin to get the procedure done. It was a four-hour procedure. I was put into recovery and I came home two days later and I’m being looked after really well so, please God, I’m on the road to recovery.”

Ex-Formula 1 driver needs risk surgery at heart
March 8, 2024
Last November, Heikki Kovalainen (42) had his doctor check him out thoroughly. And received a shocking diagnosis. During the examination, an aortic aneurysm was detected. This is a saccular enlargement in the vascular walls of the main artery. The day before, he had completed a running training and was thrilled with how good his body felt. There is nothing Kovalainen can do about that. Because he has a hereditary disease. The dangerous thing: if the aneurysm ruptures, he has practically no chance of survival. That’s why any physical exertion is taboo for him. This year he wanted to compete in the Japanese rally championship. This is now out of the question, although Kovalainen has no complaints.

Illness on board the ship, Polish man rescued by helicopter in Italy
March 5, 2024
In the late evening of March 4, the Livorno [Italy] Maritime Directorate coordinated a rescue operation with the Sarzana Coast Guard helicopter to rescue a crew member of a ship sailing between Capraia and Corsica, approximately one ten miles east of Corsica, asked the French maritime rescue coordination center for the rapid medical evacuation of a crew member suddenly taken ill. The alarm then reached the Operations Center of the General Command of the Port Authorities which reported the ongoing emergency to the Labronica Coast Guard. The Operations Room in Livorno immediately put the on-board staff in contact with the CIRM (International Radio Medical Centre) for first aid and arranged for naval and air vehicles to be alerted. The delicacy of the situation and the need to proceed urgently, confirmed by the CIRM, required the intervention of a helicopter from the Sarzana Coast Guard air base, also because the weather and sea conditions (around 20 knots of wind and 2 meters of height of the wave) and the considerable distance from the port of Livorno would have made the operations longer if carried out with a patrol boat. In about 40 minutes, the helicopter successfully carried out the recovery operation, transporting the stretchered seaman, a 34-year-old Polish national, to the Livorno hospital.
