THEME PARK ADVICE… As a regular theme park passholder I would love to contribute to make your experience go smoother! Unfortunately heat plays a huge role in ending theme parks quests early. A solution I find handy is to ALWAYS pack a MISTING FAN. Regular handheld fans just don’t cut it, especially here in Florida. The spray of water with fan combination is an instant relief while walking in the heat. If you have someone who tends to overheat easily…INSTANT ICE PACKS. As someone who has family come visit I know trying to cram theme parks back to back is quite the workout and exhausting. I recommend renting MOBILITY SCOOTERS from outside source so there is no wait at the theme parks for a scooter. This not only saves your energy but allows you to flow through the theme parks in record time. The theme parks are a little strict about placing a kid on lap, so renting an outside scooter is more comfortable if you’re going to do that. If you’re someone who comes often invest in buying your own mobility scooter because by the time you keep renting it adds up. I bought two foldable, lightweight scooters from Amazon that goes 10mph. I make it through Epcot now in 2 hours versus 5. As you now these places can get pretty crowded with no where to sit so the mobility scooter comes in handy for that as well especially at Epcot. Many of us get disconnected from kids or family once we are split up. Having a PORTABLE CHARGER is a MUST. This helps to avoid the must have kid called over speaker moment. Charge them the night before so you’re able to make it the whole day. STAY HYDRATED…H2O is our friend! This heat can take some people down. So staying hydrated is a must especially if you’re drinking alcohol. Alcohol with the sun can bring us down as well. Try bringing an umbrella or sunbrella for shade. It will help those walking stay energized without the sun draining. Also SeaWorld is cheap and you make it to all rollercoasters unlike at Disney and universal.

Health Cancer trial offers non-surgical treatment hope A major trial has found that patients with rectal cancer may be able to avoid major surgery and the need for a colostomy bag. Led by the Universities of Leeds and Birmingham, the international trial treated patients with early-stage rectal cancer, with combinations of chemotherapy and radiotherapy instead of surgery. The findings, published in Lancet Oncology and funded by Cancer Research UK, said the initial results suggested that organ‑preserving treatment may be a realistic option for many people with early rectal cancer. Cancer Research UK said the findings could be "life-changing for thousands of people". Up to 14,000 people are diagnosed with rectal cancer in the UK every year and of these, around one in three are at an early stage, according to the University of Leeds. Patients are usually treated with a complex surgical procedure called a Total Mesorectal Excision (TME), which involves the complete removal of the rectum, the surrounding fat, and lymph nodes. It has a high cure rate, but can have a significant impact and may also require a temporary or permanent colostomy bag. The trial, named STAR-TREC, set out to discover whether organ-preserving treatments - radiotherapy and chemotherapy - could help patients avoid surgery while keeping the cancer under control.

"I got the diagnosis – it was totally unexpected. I was shocked but accepting of it.
