Just as no two cancers are the same, treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all — and for one Arizona mother and teacher, personalized chemotherapy became the path to survival.
Tammy Morrow, 55, had been healthy for decades when, after seeing a doctor for what she thought was a stomach bug in December 2023, she was blindsided by a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
The cancer had spread to her bones, lymph nodes, liver and other areas, she told Fox News Digital. It became evident fairly quickly that her disease was beyond the scope of traditional treatments.
CHEMOTHERAPY DRUG COULD HAVE A SERIOUS AND SURPRISING SIDE EFFECT, STUDY FINDS
«I received one round of traditional chemo in the hospital,» said Morrow, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona. «After just the one treatment, all of my hair fell out within just eight days.»
«The rapid hair loss demonstrates the systemic nature and toxicity of traditional chemo,» she added.
Morrow’s oncologist told her that she likely only had months to liv..

Even as Floridians cope with Hurricane Milton, the aftermath of Hurricane Helene continues to affect the U.S.
Among those feeling the aftershock, hospitals around the U.S. have reported a shortage of IV fluid.
Baxter International, an IV fluid manufacturing plant in North Cove, North Carolina, was hit particularly hard by the hurricane, causing its supply to be damaged by flooding.

The plant produces 60% of America’s IV fluid supply at 1.5 million bags daily, the company stated.
Various hospitals have already felt the impact, according to a report by FOX Business’ Lydia Hu.
This includes Mass General Brigham in Boston, which is conserving its fluid supply, and UVA Hospital, which is postponing some elective and non-life-threatening surgeries.
Hospitals have noted that they’ve received less than half of the IV fluid they get in their shipments, Hu reported on Fox News' «America Reports.»

There’s no excuse for skipping the gym when America’s veterans are still getting after it.
David Scott, a 95-year-old World War II veteran from Dover, New Hampshire, still works out at his local Planet Fitness every week.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Scott emphasized the importance of exercising regularly and taking advantage of the ability to move your body.

The veteran’s advice to younger people looking to incorporate physical activity is to «just do it» at least three times a week.

Jasmine is full of intriguing health benefits, including potentially aiding weight loss and wound healing, among many others.
Jasmine is «a type of evergreen ornamental shrub with fragrant flowers, usually white flowers, and they are aromatic, meaning they have a strong aroma, very fragrant,» Jenna Volpe, a Texas-based registered dietitian and herbalist, told Fox News Digital in a phone call.
Jasmine can be found in tea, oil and in capsules, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines.
SAUNAS HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS, BUT OVERUSE IS LINKED TO DANGEROUS HEALTH RISKS
Different benefits may result when drinking jasmine tea versus using jasmine oil.
«I would say the essential oil is more for purifying the air or for topical use, [while] the tea is for taking internally — and they both can have many benefits,» Volpe said. «There's been a lot of benefits shown for skin. To use it topically and then internally can also benefit the skin, but it also has more benefits beyond that.»

Nearly half a million people in Tampa Bay live with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer or other chronic lung conditions, according to the ALA.
People who live with chronic lung conditions could be at a greater risk during a natural disaster like Hurricane Milton and Helene, according to Steven Riddle, executive director of the Tampa division of the American Lung Association.

«High winds kick up dirt, allergens and other irritants that can exacerbate asthma, COPD and other lung conditions,» he told Fox News Digital.
