Lil Wayne announced that he is left with only a month to live

New Orleans rapper lil wayne announced that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer after calling a conference to share the sad news with his fans. The doctors confirm that he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this month which means there is nothing they can do to save him.

Dr Williams said that due to the fact 80% of lil wayne's body is covered in tatoos the scanners where unable to detect his cancer before now and the only thing he can do now is enjoy the few weeks he has left.

Lil Wayne plans to spend the remainder of his life with his YMCMB crew and requested that lean should be the main drink at his funeral and that he is dying a happy man.

This articles headline caught my attention as Lil wayne was big in my music selection growing up, i think that it is so sad as he is a very talented man. However satire news seems to be a left wing news paper as some of the vocabulary used was very informal, for example, Dr Williams quoted 'the only time he pissed me off' this type of language would not be used on a more established news report such as BBC news. This also creates a sense of bias information as it is not a formal news source which makes you question how much of the article is correct.

India cancer survivor brings joy to destitute children

Mark Rego is a popular pub quiz master in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.

Glass in hand - and indeed sometimes an entire bottle - he is the life of the party, dancing and joking with patrons as he takes them through his questions.

But he is more than an energetic quiz master.

Mr Rego was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago, an incident that, according to him, changed his entire outlook on life.

"I made a bargain with God," he told the BBC.

Wanting to make a difference in people's lives, he now helps raise funds for a number of charities that work with underprivileged children, orphans and cancer patients.

 

This article caught my eye due to its headline 'India cancer survivor brings joy to destitute children' partly for the fact that my dad has cancer and partly for the fact that it involves less fortunate children. the story is very touching on how one man can change so many lives through entertainment. The story tells us that near enough everything is possible.
