Ashley Vassallo, 34, is young, active, and a nonsmoker, so when the Bay Area resident had a cough, doctors assumed it was due to COVID or another common ailment. But Vassallo was actually in the early stages of lung cancer, which is often considered one of the most preventable types: Roughly 70% of cases are a direct result of cigarette smoking. However, lung cancer among women under 50 is rising—and that doesn’t seem to correspond with an increase in smokers. Because it’s still relatively rare in young people, doctors often rule out a bunch of other health issues before even considering cancer, which is exactly what happened to Vassallo. Here’s her story, as told to associate health conditions director, Julia Sullivan.

No one prepares you for how drastically your social life changes in your 30s. I would know because, as a 36-year-old, I just went through this shift: In my 20s, my life largely revolved around making dinner plans with friends, taking girls trips to new cities, and staying out late at bars. As we crept toward our 30s, people started dropping off: A few got married, a handful moved (some to new cities, others deep into the suburbs), some became career-obsessed, and a couple had babies.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point.
