Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk needs to undergo liver transplant, otherwise he might die, said team doctor Don Chow. Now the team is making appeal to the public to help find a donor. According to the team, since January, Melnyk has dealt with many health issues. Three weeks ago, he was admitted to hospital.

His family is also making efforts to save his life by visiting his close friends and broader family so as to find someone who could be a ‘live liver donor’. However, so far, they have found no one.

Under a new legislation Michigan doctors will soon have to release breast density information to women, on how patients pay for follow-up tests and whether they should get further screening.

A recommended yearly mammogram may not always detect cancer in women who have dense breast tissue. Women who learn their breast tissue is dense may want further testing to ensure they don't have cancer.

But opting for extra testing could be expensive. Laurie Lucas said she never had a choice. She got her first annual mammogram when she turned 40 and never missed one.

Lucas said she didn’t know she had dense breasts and the fibrous tissue makes it harder for a mammogram to spot cancer.
