Ashley Brawley says she smelled something burning in her living room.
When Brawley's husband went into the living room to help his wife,
he immediately took poured water on the candle and it exploded into several pieces.
Otis W. Brawley, M.D., chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society,
noted earlier this year,“[Many prostate cancers] are cured, but do not need to be cured.”.
For now, Ashley Brawley is searching for answers as to why her candle
malfunctioned while she recovers from painful burns to her lip, cheeks, nose and forehead.
While this study shows that overdiagnosis is real, Brawley noted that a number of clinical trials have
shown that screening does help detect potentially fatal breast cancers.
But, Brawley said the current regimen still saves lives, and
women should continue to get mammograms while doctors hone genetic tests that will provide a more accurate appraisal of each tumor.
If you recently bought a new piece of furniture containing formaldehyde, keep the windows open for the first week- or as long as you detect a chemical odor-
to let the fumes escape, Brawley says.
