Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

Radiation therapy often sounds intimidating, but it's a common and effective treatment for many types of cancer. What is radiation therapy? It's a medical procedure that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Unlike chemotherapy, which affects the entire body, radiation therapy targets specific areas. This precision helps minimize damage to healthy tissues. How does it work? Radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Over time, these damaged cells die off, and the body naturally eliminates them. Is it safe? Yes, modern technology ensures that radiation therapy is as safe as possible, with side effects managed by healthcare professionals. Understanding these basics can help demystify the process and reduce anxiety for patients and their families.
