Unfortunately, it can be hard to know if you're getting a good deal, or to compare airline prices, because of the variability in airfares.
“The Bachelorette” alum revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in an emotionalpost Feb. 15. Having “no family history” of breast cancer, she subsequently shared on March 18 in another
video that she discovered a “painful” small lump, which she described as a “rubbery, marble” in her breast. Initially, she ignored the lump for “several months,” thinking it was a result of premenstrual syndrome or exercise, but she eventually went her to the doctor.“A reminder that you can’t be ‘too young’ for breast cancer,” she captioned the March video.On March 28, Thurston shared in another
that she was informed the breast cancer had spread to her liver, which placed her at Stage 4. She added that she was also classified as triple positive.A cancer identified as triple positive involves cancerous cells that grow using three different types of receptors, according to the
This is a subtype of HER2 positive breast cancer, which is considered to be the most treatable type of breast cancer.
“I know Stage 4 can sound very scary, and it can be. However, given that I am triple positive, and the spots on my liver are fairly small and detected early, I feel very optimistic on my outcome,” she said in the video, adding that she planned to start chemotherapy treatment.There are some limitations to consider when looking at the results. The design of the study can only show associations, not definitively say that calorie restriction causes an increase in depression symptoms, Bhat said.
In addition, the study surveyed people on their dietary patterns, which leaves room for error, said Dr. Kary Woodruff, associate professor (lecturer) and director of the nutrition and integrated physiology department’s coordinated master’s program at the University of Utah. She was not involved in the research.“I could think I am on a calorie-restricted diet when in fact I may be in a calorie surplus — there’s no way to verify participant’s calorie-restriction status,” Woodruff said.
The study is large and controlled for other factors that could drive the associations found, but its findings contrast with those of previous studies around the topic of calorie restriction and depression, Bhat said.Other studies have found that calorie-restricted diets reduce depressive symptoms, said Dr. Johanna Keeler, postdoctoral researcher at King’s College London. Keeler was not involved in the study.
