Days of our Labs

Cancer for Breakfast

Call the paps! Today we’ve got a smear campaign and it’s all about the CervicalCheck scandal. Our leading lady is whistleblower Vicky Phelan. A criminally incompetent lab in Texas and a negligent cover up that’s costing lives? Salt in the wound, indeed. And speaking of cancer scams (our Favre-ite kind of gossip), is sodium the cure-all or just another one of Stefano’s snake oils? Listener letters ask: why is real support so hard to find in a group? And is replacing a beloved care provider-turned-friend like finding a second needle in a haystack? RATS wonders if a low protein diet can help chemo’s efficacy in treating colon cancer. Now that’s some refreshing GATOR-aid.
