  3. Screenings to help treat the right cancers

    Cancer is running out of places to hide. A new blood test can ferret out a single cancer cell tucked away among a billion healthy cells. Radiologists are using crystal-clear 3-D mammograms to find suspicious spots and lumps that they never could have seen with an old X-ray machine. And CT scans can detect the earliest signs of lung cancer before a patient even has a chance to feel out of breath.

  11. Technology expands breast cancer screening options

    Breast-cancer-screening isn't like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's harder. It's like looking for needles in a big field of haystacks, where some of the haystacks have needles, while most don't, but you don't know which are which, so you have to look in all of them.

  17. Changing course mid career

    Life often takes unexpected twists and turns, as it did for Jeff Henry, 29, of Huntington Beach. Henry always knew he wanted to be a teacher. He was a volunteer coach in a youth program and quickly realized teaching went hand in hand with coaching. With a bachelor's degree and teaching credential from Vanguard University, Henry got a job as a math teacher in a Santa Ana high school. He soon found out that he was not suited for the job.  "I tried hard to motivate the kids, but with little parent involvement, it was hard watching kids fail out of school," Henry recalled. "I took it on as my own failure."
