Rita Wilson: I Had A Double Mastectomy
Rita Wilson: I Had A Double Mastectomy
Lending even more weight to the importance of breast cancer screenings, Rita Wilson told People that she recently had a double mastectomy.
The 58-year-old wife of Tom Hanks explained, “Last week, with my husband by my side, and with the love and support of family and friends, I underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer after a diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma.”
Wilson added, “Recently, after two surgical breast biopsies, PLCIS (pleomorphic carcinoma in situ) was discovered. I mention this because there is much unknown about PLCIS and it is often found alongside DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). I was relieved when the pathology showed no cancer. [But a second physician] found invasive lobular carcinoma. His diagnosis of cancer was confirmed by, yet, another pathologist. I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health…. Early diagnosis is key. I feel blessed to have a loving, supportive husband, family, friends and doctors and that I am the beneficiary of advances in the field of breast cancer and reconstruction. I am getting better every day and look forward to renewed health.”

Jessica Alba: Stylish In SoHo
Taking care of a few errands, Jessica Alba went for a stroll in the trendy SoHo district of New York City on Tuesday morning (April 14).
The famous actress/entrepreneur was hard to miss give her massive salmon-colored flair-legged trousers, striped top and snazzy blazer as she exited a boutique and looked wearily at the nearby shutterbugs.
Alba previously explained the impetus behind her decision to start The Honest Company- “It was really driven out of a need. I just knew that I needed to make this company. Never doing it before and having that fearlessness propelled me.”
