Glaucoma
They call it the "sneak thief of sight."
Glaucoma steals your sight without warning, and often, without
symptoms.
Although we associate it with aging, the damage can start
in your forties. In fact, almost half the people blinded
by glaucoma might still be able to see if they'd been diagnosed
earlier. In the case of Chris Wilson, it was his mother's
misfortune that probably saved his own sight.
HRT
and Breast Cancer
 Four
more years. That's how long women have to wait before
we have the results of long-term studies on the use of hormone
replacement therapy. In the meantime, we have to make
up our own minds about the risks and the benefits. Sure,
it relieves your hot flashes, but if you give estrogen to
rats, they develop breast cancer. And U.S. scientists
are recommending estrogen be listed as a cancer-causing
carcinogen. Dr. Paul Goss is an oncologist at Princess
Margaret Hospital and Dr. Christine Derzko is a gynecologist
at St. Michael's Hospital, both in Toronto. They discuss
the connection between HRT and breast cancer.
