| Beauty and the Cancer Beast |
| Patti Hansen, the supermodel wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, revealed in the August issue of Vogue magazine that she was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2007. Hansen, 54, says her symptoms were mild at first. She had been lightly spotting for months - then one morning she urinated blood. A few days later doctors discovered a mass in her bladder. Within a month she was undergoing chemotherapy -which shrunk the tumor but didn't get rid of it completely. Three months after that, she underwent surgery, major surgery. |

| All Flared Up and Nowhere To Go |
| The word 'Arthritis' conjures images of wrinkly, gnarly-jointed old people, right? I know that’s rude but you don’t really imagine a 'healthy' looking young person suffering from Arthritis. Growing up, the only person I’d ever seen with it was my great-grandmother (old). Needless to say I was surprised when a good friend was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 35. One day she was fine, playing soccer, and the next she was at the doctor’s office in excruciating pain - being told that she would probably end up in a wheelchair. Her life was turned upside down and it took years before she was able to manage her symptoms with a variety of costly medications. She’s in remission but she still suffers. |

| Montel Williams - I have MS. It doesn’t have Me. |
| 'You have MS.' Those were the three words that devastated Montel Williams. The 54 year-old former TV talk show host says, 'I'd heard of Multiple Sclerosis, but I didn't really know what it was. I knew it meant excruciating pain and that eventually I could lose control of my body. I also knew there was no cure. That was enough to plunge me into the depths of despair. I thought the diagnosis was a death sentence.' Montel said the two months following his diagnosis were the darkest moments of his life. He became despondent and attempted suicide twice - once with a gun and once by walking in front of a taxi. |

| Lady Gaga’s Lupus Face |
| As far as musicians go, few have gone from relative obscurity to world domination faster than Lady Gaga. In a few short years she has captivated millions, baffled anyone over 45, and made fellow musicians green with envy. In an era where most musicians struggle to hit the 1 million sales mark Lady Gaga has sold more than 8 million albums and 20 million downloads. She’s also won two Grammy Awards and had four #1 singles from her debut album. She writes her own music and is often (unfairly) compared to early Madonna. And what about her clothes / costumes!? Her theatrical style (really like wearable sculpture) has made her the muse of many of the world’s top designers. Whether you love her or hate her you have to admit that Lady Gaga is unique. |
