Surgeon explains why bowel cancer is striking healthy 39-year-old woman — and others like her

The number of people under the age of 50 diagnosed with bowel cancer has increased in recent years and researchers believe it has a lot to do with shift in environmental, lifestyle, or possibly genetic factors.

Historically, this form of cancer was typical for the older population, but as more and more young people are diagnosed with it, researchers are rethinking screening recommendations and are looking for different treatment approaches.

Danni Duncan, a 39-year-old woman working as a health and fitness coach, was diagnosed with bowel cancer and underwent a procedure during which her tumor has been removed along with her appendix and part of her intestine.

She underwent the surgery just ten days following her diagnosis.

Taking to Instagram, where she has over 52,000 followers, she explained that she experienced dizziness and exhaustion but didn’t pay much attention until she underwent a colonoscopy for feeling “bloated.”

The results showed the presence of a 2cm malignant tumour at the top of her bowel.

What shocked many was that Danni had been leading a very healthy lifestyle.

“I am the freaking healthiest person I know, I do more things for my health than anyone I know,” she said in a social media post. “It’s not genetic, it’s obviously not lifestyle. The last four years I have eaten 80-90 per cent whole foods, we use non toxic products at home, I don’t drink much alcohol, exercise every day and eat a high fibre diet.”

She has also shared her surgeon’s thoughts on why someone as healthy as her would get affected by this form of cancer.

“Bowel cancer takes 15 to 20 years to grow, from when it’s first cell. Well, I was born in 1985. When I was in the surgeon’s appointment on Monday, he said something so interesting,” she explained.

“He said, ‘This is what’s happened – chemicals in your foods, carcinogens through red meat, burnt, barbecued, bacon, ham – they are environmental factors which we got exposed to in the 90s and we didn’t know the long-term effects until now’.”

Since learning this, Danni felt the urge to share the information with her followers.

“It does matter what you feed your kids,” the Melbourne mom continued. “Stop feeding your kids things that are not good for them, that are processed, that are full of s***.

“You might think they’re fine, they’re fine now – but what are you really doing to your kids? What detriment are you doing to your kids later on, without even realising it?”

Danni’s cancer has been stage 2, but a more aggressive form of it. It has since spread to lymph channel, meaning it is on its way to her lymph nodes.

The treatment for stage 2 of this form of cancer includes both surgery and chemotheraphy.

Unearthed letter reveals how Princess Diana felt just days into her marriage

Two days after her marriage to then-Prince Charles, Princess Diana penned a letter to Mark Simpson, a footman at Buckingham Palace, revealing her true feelings about her stay at the Palace.

The letter, which dates back to July 31, 1981, gives an insight of her relationship with her husband at its early stage.

“Dear Mark, I just wanted to thank you for all your kindness + patience you’ve showed towards me since I moved into B.P. My stay was made so much easier by your company as it was so terribly lonely + we had so many laughs for that I can’t thank you enough. Do hope you were able to enjoy Wednesday + that you liked my dress?” the People’s Princess wrote.

“I’m off to Britainia tomorrow, what with all those men around. I will have to keep a watchful eye on Evelyn!”

Evelyn Dagley was Diana’s personal dresser, so she appears to be alluding to her in this letter.

“The bad news is that I haven’t eaten any cereal — sob. How am I going to cope without my bowls of cereal….[smiley face]. A large thank you for being you — Much love, Diana.”

This letter by Princess Diana is part of a Julien’s Auctions collection, along with other notes and letters to her loved ones, as well as personal items once owned by the beloved princess.

Speaking to People Magazine, Martin Nolan, co-founder and executive director of Julien’s Auction, explained, “It’s like a couple of days after she got married. She’d been living in Buckingham Palace as she was transitioning from being a normal person to being a royal and the future queen.”

“So she had to learn from the Queen Mother and the Queen about curtsying and all that. But she had fun with Mark Simpson, the footman. And he was about the same age, a little bit older than her,” Nolan added. “And she talks here, it speaks of how she was lonely when she was in the palace.”

Diana married Charles on July 29, 1981, in London.

They announced their separation in 1992 and finalized their divorce in August 1996, a year before Diana’s tragic passing aged 36.

Former President Bill Clinton speaks up

In an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning, former US President Bill Clinton shared his thoughts on Trump’s governing style, dubbing it as unprecedented in modern US history.

“We’ve never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, ‘Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It’s my way or the highway,'” he told CBS. “And most Americans don’t agree with that.”

He also criticized Trump for trying to undermine court rulings and condemned him for targeting law firms that oppose him.

“That ain’t America. We’ve never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard,” Clinton said.

Further, he said he believes Trump’s aggressive rhetoric may have affected his public image.

“I like to think that he’s paid a price for this – you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around… I think it’s made him less popular.”

Former President Bill Clinton added how he believes only elections where the Democrats win back the House of Representatives in 2026 can change the course of Trump’s agenda.

“Look, only elections are going to change this,” Clinton said. “Someone needs to stand up and say, ‘Damn it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away. We cannot destroy other people’s trust in us.'”

Former President Bill Clinton also shared his opinion on Original Sin, a recent book about Joe Biden that alleged signs of cognitive and physical decline were visible to those around him.

Clinton said he hadn’t read the book but he didn’t feel Biden was unfit to serve as president.

“I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?” Clinton said. “And we’d had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.

“I haven’t read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn’t register with me ’cause I never saw him that way.”

Private investigator reveals pattern of a cheating partner

At some point in your relationship, you may feel like your partner is cheating on you—perhaps because they no longer treat you the same way or seem emotionally distant.

The truth is that most relationships have their ups and downs, and periods of insecurity and lack of trust come and go.

Seasoned private investigator Ray Ranno believes there is a consistent sign of infidelity to watch for when it comes to men.

Ranno has been tailing suspected cheaters for many years and claims there is one thing most men do before getting involved with the person they are cheating with.

In fact, the Connecticut-based private investigator has worked with “hundreds of attorneys, insurance companies, self-insured companies, universities, police departments, and the private sector,” and has caught “thousands of spouses cheating.”

“My job is to uncover the evidence of your spouse cheating so you can make a sound decision about your future,” he writes on his website. “We perform discreet surveillance on your spouse and determine if they are lying to you about their whereabouts or if they’re involved with other persons.”

Speaking on the podcast of host Ian Bick, Ranno says that when meeting with the girl on the side, men tend to clean their car first.

“As soon as somebody goes to the car wash I think ‘Ha ha, what’s next?’ It’s amazing how they do that… Women don’t do it so much because they usually jump in the guy’s car – men always want to drive. It’s very rare that I see a guy jump into a female’s car.”

His methods of catching the cheater in the act are as discreet as they are effective and usually involve a coffee cup with a hidden HD camera.

“If I go into a coffee place or a supermarket wherever I need to be, I just take the lid off, turn it on, put the cap on, and it looks like I’m walking around with a coffee,” he explained. “Meantime, I’m videotaping everything.”

So, if you suspect your man might be cheating on you, don’t pay attention to his phone only, but also check how clean his car is.

Reporter shot by police while filming LA riots

Lauren Tomasi, a US reporter for Australia’s 9News was reporting from the scene where violent clashes took place at downtown LA when she got shot by a rubber bullet.

The protests were in response to President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration crackdown, with some protesters setting vehicles on fire near the Metropolitan Detention Centre.

In the morning, only small groups of protesters took the streets, but by the afternoon, thousands rioters joined in and the situation escalated quickly.

At the time Tomasi was reporting live from 257 E Temple Street, she explained that the LAPD was “After hours of standing off, this situation has now rapidly deteriorated, the LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of LA.” Moments later, she got shot.

A bystander cried out, “You just f**king shot the reporter.”

As a passerby came up to see if she was okay, she said, “I’m good,” and kept calm.

A footage by Nine News showed that an officer aimed at the reporter deliberately when he shot the rubber bullet.

“He aims right at her,” one person posted on X. “No one in between them. No chance of it being a missed shot. A purposeful close-range shot at an unarmed journalist, who was walking away.”

The network issued a statement, writing, “Lauren Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet. Lauren and her camera operator are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information.”

Australia’s Greens Senator Sarah Hanson‑Young described the incident as “simply shocking” and “completely unacceptable.” She urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to demand answers from the US.

“The first thing he must tell the president is to stop shooting at our journalists,” she said via The Independent. “Freedom of the press is a fundamental pillar of a strong, functioning democracy.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass asked from the residents to stop the violence.

“Angelenos — do not take part in violence and chaos. Don’t give the administration what it wants,” she posted on X.

Serial killer fears rise as three dozen bodies are found in a lake

Serial killer fears rise with the discovery of three dozen bodies in and around Lady Bird Lake in the last three years.

While two of the cases have been ruled suicides, the rest remain under investigation. While the authorities assure there isn’t a mass murderer on the loose, rumors have persisted as new bodies are discovered.

Most recently, the remains of a teenager have been found in Lady Bird Lake, possibly linked to a 17-year-old teen who vanished on Sunday while kayaking with his family.

The clothes of the body match those worn by the missing boy, but still, the police are waiting the results from the medical examiner’s office.

His death was listed as drowning with no foul play suspected.

“The teenager got off his kayak to stand in shallow water. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time. Investigators have determined that he was unknowingly standing near an underwater shelf, which is a sudden drop-off in the lake, when he stepped or slipped off and did not resurface,” the Austin Police Department explained.

According to Fox 7, over the course of three years, the bodies of 38 people have been pulled out of Lady Bird Lake.

The leading causes of death have been drowning, drug overdoses, suicide, and natural causes. About half a dozen of these cases remain unknown. 

Last year, a man named Jeff Jones travelled to Austin to a bachelor party. Before heading to pubs on the notoriously boisterous West 6th Street, Jones, 38, had dinner with his friends.

Two weeks later, he woke up at the hospital, with metal rods supporting his back.

Doctors explained that he was found in water after falling 25 feet from a bridge. They discovered date-rape drug Rohypnol in his system.

Jones believed he was drugged and then pushed into the lake.

His testimony only intensified the speculations and fears about a serial killer.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jones said, “The things that lead to it being a serial killer is that it’s a very specific type of victim, which I fit, they don’t have anything stolen from them, they drown in the water, and they disappear in the middle of the night.”

Thirty out of 38 victims discovered in the water are males aged 30 to 49.

Trump declared ‘fully fit’ despite ongoing health speculations

As part of his second term in office, President Donald Trump has undergone his first physical examination which also involved a cognitive assessment.

The results, including those of the cognitive test, which have been released to the public by the White House, show that Trump is ‘fully fit.’

The five-hour medical exam took place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, with Dr. Sean Barbabella performing it. According to the president himself, it involved “every test you can imagine.”

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in his report regarding the test results. “He remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

The memo highlighted the president’s “frequent victories in golf events.”

However, what caught many people’s attention was Trump’s weight, which was listed as 224 pounds.

Reportedly, he scored 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test, getting every single question right.

“I did well,” he remarked. “Overall, I felt I was in very good shape. A good heart, a good soul, a very good soul.”

During Joe Biden’s presidency, Trump often mocked him because of his age, calling him “Sleepy Joe” during several occasions. However, while Biden was 78 years old when he moved into the White House and his presidency ended when he was 82, Trump would in fact be 156 days older at the end of his four years than Biden was at the end of his term.

Trump said he took the cognitive assessment test because he wanted to be different than his predecessor.

“I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The medical report was the first public information on Trump’s health since the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Barbabella added that, “Examination of the head, ears, nose and throat revealed no significant abnormalities with the exception of scaring on the right ear from a gunshot wound.”

The doctor’s memo reported Trump taking Aspirin, Mometasone cream for a skin issue, and Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol control.

Recently, Trump appeared with bruises on his hands, which sparked rumors about his health. The bruises were visible during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in February. Addressing the rumors, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the bruises were a result of Trump “constantly working and shaking hands.”

Also, videos from Mar-a-Lago shared on the social media recently sparked speculations about Trump’s leg which appeared wobbly.

Service dog leapt at the baby stroller in the airport

Officer Andre and service dog Luna, an experienced German Shepherd, have been an unbreakable team for three years.

That day at the airport, Luna’s ears perked up and her tail stiffened as her eyes met those of a woman pushing a baby stroller.

There was something about that woman that disturbed Luna, and Officer Andre didn’t hesitate when he approached her. He knew Luna’s reaction wasn’t an empty response. Her instincts were sharp, and she had never made a mistake.

Something about that female passenger at Terminal D of Otopeni Airport wasn’t right, and Andre wouldn’t let it slip.

Luna started sniffing the baby that was wrapped in a blue blanket.

Suddenly, the experienced service dog let out a low, angry growl, attracting the attention of the passengers.

The pale, thin woman held the stroller’s handles but her hands were shaking.

“Take that dog away from my baby,” she yelled.

Officer Andre tried to pull Luna away from the stroller, but she didn’t obey. This was the first time in three years the service dog to fail to respond to her handler’s command.

Rather than backing off, Luna stepped closer and pulled the blanket and what appeared from under it shocked everyone.

There wasn’t a baby there but a thermal bag with labels written in Russian and Chinese and symbols of biological hazard. Inside, there were shiny containers that released strange odor.

Officer Andre quickly grabbed the woman by the arm and pulled her aside. He alerted the antiterrorist team of the incident.

“What is this?” Andre asked the woman.

She started crying, claiming she had no idea what it was, it was only her job to get it past security.

The area was cleared and locked down and emergency response teams and specialists in special gear took the thermal beg with the containers.

The materials, traced from unlawful Asian labs to a secret European facility, revealed an international trafficking ring of banned biological materials that could easily cause a biological disaster if released intentionally or accidentally.

Had it not been for Luna, the amazing service dog who sensed the presence of the materials hidden in the containers, a tragedy could have struck.
