"Tragic Loss: Cancer-Stricken Mother Dies After Misdiagnosis"

Fiona Gallacher, a 33-year-old mother from North Lanarkshire, died just 11 weeks after being diagnosed with stage-four adenocarcinoma, an aggressive cancer, which was initially mistaken for pregnancy symptoms. Her family and friends are urging people to get regular health check-ups and not ignore symptoms, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention for abnormal stomach pains. Ms. Gallacher's sudden death has left her family in shock, and a GoFundMe page has been started to help cover the cost of her funeral and support her children.

Air pollution activates dormant cells causing lung cancer.

Air pollution can promote the development of lung adenocarcinoma, particularly in never-smokers, according to a study published in Nature. The study found that air pollution can cause mutations in lung cells, leading to the development of cancer. The research also identified specific mutations that are more common in never-smokers with lung cancer, suggesting that air pollution may be a contributing factor in these cases. The findings highlight the need for continued efforts to reduce air pollution and protect public health.
