'Medical professionals said it could take up to six months to return to what one would deem normality'
TV star Gloria Hunniford has told how she is now back at work following a health scare which saw her rushed for two surgeries.She had an operation to blast the stones and put a stent in, then a second one to remove it three weeks later.But after the first op, when kidney stones were removed under general anaesthetic, she began to feel unwell.
“But the next thing I knew coming out of the anaesthetic, was a nurse saying to me, ‘Don’t worry, don’t panic but we are having to transfer you by ambulance to a different hospital because we can’t get your blood pressure up’.”She told our sister title The Daily Mirror: “It was like somebody had put a tap in my body and just drained all the energy.” Doctors later told her that she had sepsis of the kidney.“I guess that’s why I felt so awful and it did flatten me for a while.
She said: “Medical professionals said it could take up to six months to return to what one would deem normality after two anaesthetics so close together.”She said: “I set myself little tasks and my [husband] Stephen was marvellous. He was chief cook and bottle-washer and my whole wonderful family rallied round”.

Allies or enemies of cancer: The dual fate of neutrophilsWhy do cancer immunotherapies work so extraordinarily well in a minority of patients, but fail in so many others? By analyzing the role of neutrophils, immune cells whose presence usually signals treatment failure, scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), from Harvard Medical School, and from Ludwig Cancer Center have discovered that there is not just one type of neutrophil, but several. Depending on certain markers on their surface, these cells can either promote the growth of tumors, or fight them and ensure the success of a treatment. By boosting the appropriate factors, neutrophils could become great agents of anti-tumor immunity and reinforce the effects of current immunotherapies. These results have been published in the journal Cell.
