A new Ontario study shows that popular antidepressant Paxil, shown here in a 2004 file photo, blocks the breast-cancer suppressing effects of the drug Tamoxifen. JOE READLE/GETTY IMAGESA popular antidepressant eradicates the benefits of life-saving breast cancer drug tamoxifen, a new Ontario study shows. The study of 2,430 women taking tamoxifen showed the drug's potent cancer-fighting capacity was lost in patients using paroxetine anti-depression drugs such as Paxil. "If someone is on tamoxifen for five years ... and they're taking paroxetine the entire time, they've effectively not been on tamoxifen," said study co-author Dr. David Juurlink, a researcher with the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. "And what this study shows for the first time is that that translates into an increased risk of deaths because the patients are being deprived of a very important drug." The study was published Monday in the British Medical Journal. Conducted between 1993 and 2005 on women 66 and older, it showed that those treated with Paxil-like drugs for 40 per cent of the time they were taking tamoxifen had a significantly greater risk of dying of breast cancer within five years of diagnosis. This combination resulted in one additional death for every 20 patients so treated, the study showed. Juurlink said about 30 per cent of women taking tamoxifen were on antidepressants, and most of those were prescribed Paxil-like drugs. While other antidepressants, most notably Prozac and Wellbutrin, can also interfere with tamoxifen's effectiveness, there are others that won't, Juurlink said. "There are many other options out there that ... are almost certainly better choices for women who are receiving tamoxifen ... It's not a reason to withhold antidepressants." Women taking Paxil with their tamoxifen should not stop the antidepressant abruptly, Juurlink said. "There's a well-recognized withdrawal syndrome for people who stop it suddenly, so if it's going to be discontinued it needs to be tapered off over a couple of weeks," he said. An email from Paxil maker GlaxoSmithKline Canada said the company had been aware of reported interactions between the two drugs and had posted a warning on the antidepressant's monograph. "GSK will review these additional data and will work with regulatory authorities to determine next steps," the email said.

Research, and personal experience, reveal how financial status affects a person's overall mental and physical state. Few studies however, have analyzed the affects that socioeconomic status has on a person's psychological health after being diagnosed with a serious medical condition. Anxiety and depression can significantly alter breast cancer treatment benefits if not addressed. The study also revealed that a woman's education level or the presence of social support did not directly affect developing anxiety or depression. The study, conducted on 487 women recently diagnosed with DCIS, were given questions about sociodemographic, psychosocial, and clinical characteristics from the onset of enrollment to nine months after their diagnosis. The results clearly revealed that women with financial hardships declared higher levels of anxiety and depression than women with no financial concerns. In fact, women with no financial hardship reported a decrease in anxiety and depression over time. "Women with medium or low socioeconomic status are forced to manage competing stressors: the stress of financial hardship and the stress of a major health event," states Janet de Moor, MPH, PhD, of The Ohio State University College of Public Health, "Because these concomitant stressors leave women vulnerable to escalating distress after their DCIS diagnosis, women with medium or low financial status may benefit from psychosocial interventions." According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer and 1 out of 8 American women who live to be 85 years old will develop breast cancer. This study was published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. Written By Amy Munday Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Obama: 'She insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt' - Washington Examiner Posted: 05 Feb 2010 04:33 PM PST Message from fivefilters.org: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. Reader Commentsster@aol.com Feb 5, 2010 If Bush said "corpseman", it would be all over CBS, NBC, PMSNBC, etc... and saying he's too stupid and ignorant of our military to be Commander in Chief. Notice how you didn't hear this on ANY major network? It's OBVIOUS Obama is ignorant of the military... he had hired an "expert" to teach him HOW to salute... they cannot report this. And they won't. This is not to say Bush didn't say amazingly stupid things.... but those were reported. This? Never!
Publius Feb 5, 2010 The guy grows more bizarre every single day. Truly weird.
Moshi Feb 5, 2010 Why didn't the campaign offer health insurance? Good for thee but not for me!!!
vladdy Feb 5, 2010 Unbelievable. How in the world can anyone still have respect for this little man?
KA@hotmail.com Feb 5, 2010 I agree Moshi, why did the Obama Campaign not offer this worker Health Insurance, it is clear they know she was sick. Did any of the Deadhead Media tools not catch the ultimate hypocritcy of the BLoviating Obama? Stupid is as stupid does.
Higgy Feb 5, 2010 The POTUS and several members of congress including Frank have proved that one of the criteria for getting into Haavard is NOT intelligence.
jake Feb 5, 2010 If it had been Bush, it wouldn't have been covered at all. Bush said such stupid sh*t all the time, sooner or later the media just gave up trying to cover it all.
Valkyrie Feb 5, 2010 Obama is a study in excess as it breathes,,,Every excess can be seen in him. Excess of self admiration, self importance, self impact. For Obama,,He is IT and the rest are dangling little parts hanging like pregnant little chads from his persona....
Cheryl Feb 5, 2010 Even if the woman HAD all the testing she "needed" according to Obama, that's no guarantee it would have been diagnosed in time to have a different ending. The "buried in HIS t-shirt" story is not something you repeat IF you have any class at all. It would be laughable if he wasn't our President. He seriously needs psychiatric intervention.....and etiquette and social instructors.
Jan Feb 5, 2010 This story brings up a question I always have about Obamacare. If you can't afford health insurance now, how can you afford it just because it's mandated? What do you give up? Food, shelter, the things you need and use everyday? We don't go to the doctor everyday or sometimes every year, why pay for it?
Sherry Feb 5, 2010 In the movie "On the Town" at the end, the sailors are bailed out of their troubles with the police by a stirring patriotic speech given by one of the leading ladies. She sums it up with acknowledging that they did smash up a dinosaur in the museum but "If that dinosaur could talk, He'd say "Anything for one of our boys." and of course everyone cheers and passes the hat. Obama believes that everyone thinks, "Anything for you." and passes the hat.
BGates Feb 5, 2010 It's too bad Obama couldn't have pitched in money to help that woman herself. But I guess like Michelle's been telling us, with the need to buy all that fruit to help their children with what she tells me is their weight problem, money was tight for the Obama household and their half-million-dollar income.
markit8dude Feb 5, 2010 He had the gall to say this week he's not an ideologue. He never ceases to amaze in his self admiration.. This woman's death, albeit sad, is apparently the fault's of those who are not for Government controlled, mandatory health insurance? The idiocy never ceases..
orthodoc Feb 5, 2010 This guy is just creepy.
donkeykong88@comcast.net Feb 5, 2010 Allow me to give an even darker interpretation of this: "Push my agenda even if ti kills you. If this woman wants to be buried with my shirt the least you can do is fall on your political swords for me!" He's called POTUS. Remove the "TU" what you're left with is what he really is!
Jeudi Feb 5, 2010 How incredibly sad to be publicly remembered, not by name or as a unique individual, but only as "buried in an Obama t-shirt."
TakeFive Feb 5, 2010 Maybe Obama can show up at the funeral and slap a couple bumper stickers on the coffin.
negentropy Feb 5, 2010 where will we find the tshirt large enough to bury this country in?
Bob from Long Island Feb 5, 2010 Her headstone will read, "I campaigned for Obama and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
Shana Feb 5, 2010 Recently Mrs. Wang in China, whose husband left her 4 Billion dollars died of cancer. Wanna bet she did not have insurance or ability to buy the world's greatest treatment? It's not always money.
Larvell Blanks Feb 5, 2010 On top of everything else, he got the facts wrong. According to the link above, the woman wasn't BURIED in the t-shirt, she was CREMATED in it.
seamus Feb 5, 2010 The link says she had insurance. She waited until it spread to her whole body. Obamacare would not have made a difference. Obama has no shame.
mike Feb 5, 2010 He doesn't know he is a dead corpseman yet.
cliffthatcher Feb 5, 2010 Has anyone thought of the possibility that the whole story is just that? A story. A lie. He didn't mention her name, because if he had, her relatives could have come forward with the truth, which would more than likely be something other than what this little man-child has said. Just sayin'....
Grabski Feb 5, 2010
eaglewingz08 Feb 5, 2010 I agree with the other perspicacious commenters. The woman was working for Obama since about 2008-for the past two years (and two years since diagnosis). Yet the democraps refused to give this poor woman health insurance, instead, they used her as a pawn and patsy against Pres. Bush and the republicans. Obama got 700 million or more in campaign donations, yet couldn't spare 6,000 to fund this woman's health care? For shame Obama.
Elder Edda Feb 5, 2010 My sister had breast cancer at age 30--in Missouri. She had no job, no insurance. Not only did she receive treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation, follow-up care) that saved her life (thanks to tax-payers) she receive reconstruction surgery 5 years later. I don't buy the story, which is probably why he didn't use the name. It's bogus.
Bill Feb 5, 2010 Cult worship. Notice Obama did not offer Health care!
Dave Templeton Feb 5, 2010 Why should Obama care about health care, he and the do-nothing congress have healthcare and the tax payers paid for it. His concerns are the implementation of more power and control, not my health!
LEWIS GIBBS Feb 5, 2010 NARCISSIST IN CHIEF mispronounced corpsman 3 times in that speech!!!!
Mike Feb 5, 2010 Six feet under... just like Obamacare. Delicious metaphor.
WarEagle01 Feb 5, 2010 What the...? This is beyond weird. Did we actually elect this guy?
kansas Feb 5, 2010 Corp, corpse, obviously they didn't cover that at the highest level of education at Harvard.
PoliticalRectum Feb 5, 2010 Humm, maybe we should give all the liberals Bahama t-shirts if this is the end result....
RAIDER Feb 5, 2010 I bet the t-shirt was an Info wars w/ FASCISM across and the joker face below..lol
Hasjr Feb 5, 2010 The POTUS is a self-aggrandizing liar and a classless jerk. The woman HAD health insurance according to other reports. This clown will use anyone or anything to promote himself. Maybe she went to a "corpse-man" instead of a doctor for her cancer treatment. With apologies to all corpsmen in our military.
Jane Feb 5, 2010 Unbelievable!! This guy has so little self esteem he has to brag about himself in stories no one would be able to investicate and find any truth in it. He is a disgrace and so arrogant to think Americans believe his BS.
jbinnout Feb 5, 2010 On another blog, HotAir, a commenter had this clever reply...
xavier Feb 5, 2010 Isn't that precious?
TW Feb 5, 2010 "I worked for Obama and all I got was this T-Shirt."
martindendy Feb 6, 2010 Get medical insurance for your entire family at the best price from http://bit.ly/atGzeD
ImNoDhimmi Feb 6, 2010 He was making it up as he went along. Another big lie.
RHO1953 Feb 6, 2010 Take I, me and mine out of his vocabulary and he has nothing left to say. I think he is clinically insane. He is definitely narcissistic and self aggrandizing. Every Bush misstatement was endlessly criticized, his bootlickers' ignore it all.
J.B. Trainer Feb 6, 2010 They all knew for four (4) years that this dear lady was struggling with cancer. They could have chipped in and made sure that she received the care that was necessary. Not only that, but there would have been any number of doctors that would have been willing to take care of this ladies needs free of charge. But, they weren't interested in her as a person, they were only interested in what she could do for them. HOW SAD!! The Trailblazer
AvgDude Feb 6, 2010 The man is a hyper-narcissist, probably a solipsist in the true sense of the word. He really does believe the universe is all about him. He's a dangerous man, especially when reality starts pushing back hard against his pervasive mental derangement.
Liberty4me Feb 6, 2010 ACORN will make sure she votes in 2012...if wearing an Obama T Shirt for all eternity is not a vote... God Bless her family during this time of loss.
Willy Feb 6, 2010 Another Obama gaffe that was ignored by the press: "I don't know what the term is in Austrian." If Bush had made this mistake, the MSM would be talking about it for years, like they did with Dan Quayle.
XLOGIC1013 Feb 6, 2010 Why in the world would Obama bring this up? This is more than bizarre. This is all about him. Can't he stop being a narcissist yet? That is the problem. He has his agenda and doesn't look what he should have been paying attention to, IMHO.
West Feb 6, 2010 How appropriate. But we knew that the Democrats had the dead people vote locked in, anyway.
RSweeney Feb 6, 2010 Sadly, the American economy will be buried with an Obama T-shirt as well. No doubt made in China.
angusmac Feb 6, 2010 Word has it that most of the famous paintings of old dead guys have been replaced (and are replaced weekly) with photos of "The One".... God save us!
dell Feb 6, 2010 She might as well. I'm being buried in Obama's debt.
mair Feb 6, 2010 I bet she still "finds a way" to vote for Obama in the next election.
KBB Feb 7, 2010 Jan: "...a question I always have about Obamacare. If you can't afford health insurance now, how can you afford it just because it's mandated? What do you give up? Food, shelter, the things you need and use everyday?..." ****** I understand what you're saying, Jan. But, the reality is those folks who can't afford health insurance now would not be paying for it when it's mandated. WE WOULD. Which brings up the whole point of BO passing ObamaCare in the first place: it's a way to re-distribute the wealth -- from those who can afford health insurance...to those who cannot afford it. That's why BO doesn't care about the details in the bill. His goal is not to improve health care. It's to re-distribute wealth.
KBB Feb 7, 2010 cliffthatcher: "Has anyone thought of the possibility that the whole story is just that? A story. A lie. He didn't mention her name, because if he had, her relatives could have come forward with the truth, which would more than likely be something other than what this little man-child has said. Just sayin'...." ***** Good point. He's shared many such "stories". When I've heard him tell a "human interest" story that just so happened to "coincidentally" dovetail nicely into his talking points, I've suspected he made it up. Something a typical street-hustling snake-oil salesman would do.
KBB Feb 7, 2010 Elder Edda: "My sister had breast cancer at age 30--in Missouri. She had no job, no insurance. Not only did she receive treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation, follow-up care) that saved her life (thanks to tax-payers) she receive reconstruction surgery 5 years later. I don't buy the story, which is probably why he didn't use the name. It's bogus." **** EE, I'm glad to hear your sis got proper treatment. I hope she's fully recovered her health.
lefty Feb 7, 2010 From the link listed above the story makes it quite clear that our president is lying again. This man is 20 lbs. of crap in a 10 lb. bag. He is nothing but a lying incompetent and needs to get the HELL out of our lives.
Righty Feb 7, 2010 No doubt that woman is black. It's all about the blackness of Hussein, that is why he was elected, period because anyone with any sense in their head could have seen what a total idiot he was from the beginning. And some called George Bush the village idiot? LMAO. How embarassing for the blacks and gays in this country who back his butt.
Keep the Change Feb 7, 2010 Obamatard.
TJLow Feb 7, 2010 Couldn't the Chosen One have laid hands on her and healed her? Or the power of the "O" on the shirt brought her back to life? This is why I got my "Next Time, Vote American" sticker at KEEP2THERIGHT.COM
joy Feb 7, 2010 Didn't this Administration recently say that it isn't important that women go to their docs for their yearly pap smears or mammograms????? Now he cites this as the reason why this woman did not receive treatment for her cancer in time. So which one is it, Mr. Obama?
EC Feb 7, 2010 The dudes and idiot. Who voted for this moron. www.americagonestupid.com
r Feb 7, 2010 Dear Congress/Senate..when able please make it an irrefutable policy/mandate of the highest degree that any fool who "claims" that he is an American and wants to run for president that his birth certificate will be posted for all to see. To the court that struck down the lawsuit from the former state DA demanding that America see his birth certificate..you are the most despicable of all. This Obama catastrophe would have been stopped before it started. This is why every one hates and despises Lawyers..
EC Feb 7, 2010 Want to see how stupid socialist democrats are please go to www.americagonestupid.com and click on the link right under the two worse people this country has ever seen in office. Can you imagine the increase in taxes this would cost the people. How stupid can these so called leader be? Apparently REAL STUPID. All we can do now as a country is vote every socialist in any office across this land immediately if not sooner and NEVER let them have those seats again. Start now Mass should be seen as just a start not a victory.
Feb 7, 2010 cant get no better than this! keep up the good work bam.
sueinmi Feb 7, 2010 Why waste a good suit.
seagull1106 Feb 7, 2010 He is the one of the most disrespectful persons in existence. It amazes me that some people are looking to this administration for a better life. He trashes the Developmentally Disabled, law enforcement officers, is condescending towards women, says his Grandma is a is a typical white person, can't count (12 die in Kansas = 1,000 deaths to him, we have 57 states), says if we counted the Muslims we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world - and we really need to comment on what comes out of this man's mouth? He not smart enough to even be a pimple on Forrest Gump's behind.
thomas Feb 8, 2010 Also, she had insurance btw... but a high deductible plan. So, its not like she couldn't get it. Its more an example of an unfortunante choice (ie, she might have been better served by an HMO)... so, Obama should be honest and say the real problem was too much free choice in healthcare. He'd rather make all the calls for people like this woman... for their own good.
Sunny Feb 8, 2010 supposedly she had insurance;supposedly she waited until things went too far (her choice); and supposedly she was cremated, not buried; and not-so-supposedly, Obama has an illness... self-absorption, hyper-egotistical,etc....God help America, we are losing so much ground with this guy in office
Lee Wright Feb 8, 2010 If she was working on Obama's campaign, why didn't she have health insurance through her employer?
Human Dignity Feb 8, 2010 I used to just be disappointed I voted for Obama. Now I'm just ashamed.
What-the Feb 9, 2010 How old was she?
samsoma Feb 9, 2010 This man's head is 90% ego. The rest is all air and feathers.

| Iowa State Men to Wear Pink for Breast Cancer - KCRG.com Posted: 01 Feb 2010 12:13 PM PST Message from fivefilters.org: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it.
AMES - The Iowa State men's basketball team will have a different look on Saturday when it takes the court at 1 p.m. against nationally ranked Kansas State on ESPN2. The Cyclones will sport pink shoes and jerseys with pink lettering to raise awareness for and help promote the fight against breast cancer. The Cyclones are among four schools in the nation – Brigham Young, Illinois, Oregon – Nike has outfitted with pink-highlighted uniforms and shoes for the important cause. The ISU Athletics Department and Hy-Vee are teaming together to sponsor a "Pink Out" game in Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. Students in Cyclone Alley will don pink shirts and the general public is encouraged to wear pink clothing to the game. Members of the Iowa State coaching staff already know the dangers of breast cancer. ISU head coach Greg McDermott's wife, Theresa, and graduate assistant Bryan Petersen's mother, Karen, are both breast cancer survivors. The decision to wear pink this weekend was an easy one for McDermott. "It's important for our team to help in this cause, and that is the fight against breast cancer," McDermott said. "I know first-hand the importance of early detection in the treatment of breast cancer. By wearing pink we hope to raise awareness at the national level so that women of all ages are reminded to be proactive with their health." The McDermotts annually participate in "Hoops for Hope," a fundraising gala benefitting the American Cancer Society. Coaches from the three other Division I schools in Iowa plus marquee college basketball coaches across the nation visit Des Moines each year to raise money for the ACS.
