22-year-old told he has less than a year to live after stomach pain reveals ultra-rare cancer

  A 22-year-old poker dealer has been given a devastating prognosis after what initially seemed like a painful stomach problem turned out to be an exceptionally rare and aggressive form of cancer.

He went to the bathroom during his shift, where he noticed blood when he tried to urinate. Alarmed by what he had seen, a colleague rushed him to hospital.

Doctors warn against ‘pink slime’ in bathroom

  In many households, a pinkish residue often appears in bathrooms, particularly around drains, shower curtains, and tile grout. While it might be mistaken for mold, this discoloration is actually caused by the bacterium Serratia marcescens. This microorganism thrives in moist environments and feeds on fatty substances found in soap and shampoo residues. Dr. Karan Raj, a National Health Service (NHS) surgeon, highlighted this issue, stating: “If you’ve seen this pink slime lurking in your bathroom, it’s not mold—it’s bacteria.” He further explained that Serratia marcescens “loves damp, moist places, and enjoys munching on fatty deposits like those found in soaps and shampoos; hence why it likes to hang out in your bathroom.” While generally harmless to healthy individuals, Serratia marcescens can pose health risks to certain populations. Infectious Disease Advisor notes that this bacterium “can be found in soil, water, plants, and animals,” and in homes, it “may be found in the cor...

Purple butterfly sticker near newborns – here’s what it means

  Only weeks after Millie Smith and Lewis Cann learned they were having twin baby girls, they learned that only one would survive. On April 30, after 30 weeks of a high-risk pregnancy, Smith delivered identical twins, Callie and Skye, the latter who lived only three hours. Later in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Callie slept without her sister in the incubator, with her loving and grieving parents watching over her. In the unit with other babies, an overwhelmed mom of healthy newborn twins innocently told Smith that she was “so lucky” to not have two babies. Crushed by the words, the new mom couldn’t find the words to explain her loss. Then, she realized that Skye’s legacy was to help other families who lose a child, and it came in the form of a purple butterfly.
