Now that I’m blogging about health in general rather than just on topics about pain (Help My Hurt), pregnancy (Womb Within), and cancer (Cancer Commentary), it’s interesting to see what else is out there. I used to do celebrity pregnancy round ups, now I’ll be doing some celebrity health round ups?
Why? Because millions of people have a fascination over celebs and their lives. I won’t go prying into anyone’s life; I’ll just use information that’s available from reliable sources and pass it on in case your celeb is ill or you draw inspiration from one who may be fighting or has fought a similar battle as you.
So, here’s the first celeb health round up, although it’s only for two of them:
First is Jade Goody (Jade Goody Returns Home for Final Days)
Jade is a British media star after she was in their version of Big Brother. Sadly, the
British public has watched her from the time of diagnosis with cervical cancer to now, living her final days. As a former palliative care nurse, I have a good idea of what she, her family, and friends are going through. I hope her last time on this earth are painfree and her passing is peaceful.
Mariska Hargitay is the next one. I wrote about her in January at Help My Hurt when she had a collapsed lung. It seems she’s back in the hospital as of the beginning of the week, says People Magazine.
