If you are undergoing Chemotherapy and experience episodes of memory loss, or difficulty in focusing or simply feel your brain is all fogged up, you are not imagining these symptoms. Sometimes people with cancer worry about, joke about, or become frustrated by what they describe as mental cloudiness or changes they might notice during, and after cancer treatment. This cloudiness or mental change is commonly referred to as “chemo brain”.

It started off when I felt a lump in my breast and the initial advice ‘it was normal to have lumps there at my age’. After some time, I went to my gynaecologist for my routine checkups and he said that my lumps were abnormal and recommended that I go for a mammogram. When I went for the mammogram, they (medical officials) were hesitant because of my age. They said that the results show that I have dense breast tissue which was normal for someone my age.

“I should’ve never ignored that lump!” the patient exclaimed with sunken eyes brimming with tears. Shrieking cries then bellowed throughout the corridors as she slumped forward, face planted into weary hands. As the room deadened with silence, the patient then shakingly uttered a few unforgettable words, “I never thought it could be me, nobody in my family has it…”. Unfortunately, this patient had just received news of her crippling diagnosis of Stage IV Breast Cancer.

“I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer in my left breast in 2014, at the age of 30. I first became aware of breast cancer when I got a cancer scare at age 17. Since then, I started supporting breast cancer groups. When the lump was discovered I figured it would be negative just as it was in the past, so I didn’t worry. It was only when the lump started to cause pain, I decided to get a lumpectomy privately.

In recent years, lawmakers in T&T have taken steps to protect victims of abuse, including the latest amendment to the Domestic Violence Act which allows for emergency protection orders to be granted and broadens the scope of who can apply for protection orders, among other changes.

As a leading cause of chronic pain and physical disability worldwide, bone and joint disease affects almost half of the globe’s population in the form of arthritis, osteoporosis, back, knee and hip pain, and muscle and ligament injuries. In many cases, age-related degeneration of the body’s musculoskeletal system is a significant contributing factor in the development of bone and joint disease.

The new phrase ‘MASK-NE”, which combines the words “mask” and “acne” - has recently sprung up all over social media as people are venting their woes from a new kind of facial malady. While masks play a vital role in reducing the spread of the coronavirus, they can also be hard on your skin, causing problems that range from acne and peeling skin to rashes and itchiness.

Caterer Kizzy Joseph prepares some lobster at her family-run business in Santa Cruz.
Imagine having a Sunday spread of turkey with cornbread stuffing and sorrel conserve, cinnamon-baked plantains and apples in a cranberry glaze, and mixed greens with caramelised pecans and cranberries, complete with black cake and sorrel on your dining table in July, without having slaved in front the stove until 3 pm. Candice Thomas-Henry did just that after she and caterer Kizzy Joseph crossed paths in late June…and the busy car sales agent and mother is looking forward to being spoilt with Joseph’s culinary delights over and over again.
