The Lion King (2019)

It was 1994 when the animated The Lion King movie was released. After twenty-five years, Disney made a remake of the movie, but this time, in real-life action.

Since we made a promise to our little boy, we watched the film last Sunday.

I must admit, I was excited since I wanted to see if there are changes from the original story.

As the movie goes, I carefully reminisce the scenes and the story. Nothing has changed. Even the soundtracks are still the same – Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Hakuna Matata, Circle of Life and others.

Here is a summary of the story:

Simba admires his father, King Mufasa, the leader of the Pride Lands of Africa. He wanted to be like his father when he grows up and become the king. But behind all the excitement, there is one that is not happy with the arrival of Simba. Scar, Mufasa's brother, who happens to be the former heir to the throne, is doing plans to take the lead.

Scar made connivance with the hyenas to kill Mufasa and put all the blame to Simba. He forced Simba to leave the Pride Land and never return.


Simba collapses in the dessert where Timon (meerkat) and Pumba (warthog) saved him. Simba grew up in the jungle with his friends.

One day, Simba saved his two friends from a hungry lioness, Nala, Simba’s childhood friend.

Nala, escaped from the Pride Land to seek help to save their home. She encouraged Simba to return and take back the throne.

Simba refuses but he was urged by Rafiki. He told Simba that his father’s spirit lives in him. Without a second thought, he runs and returns to Pride Land.

With the help of Simba's friend, he reached the Pride Rock and confronts Scar and saved his mother, Sarabi, from Scar’s attack.

During the fight, Scar, reveals that he saw the same scenario at the edge of the rock where he killed Mufasa. Scar tried to defend himself and blame the hyenas in Mufasa’s death.

With the help of Timon, Pumba, Rafiki, Zazu, Nala and the rest of the lioness, they managed to out thrown the hyenas.

Scar was cornered by Simba. He tries to beg and ask what he can do to forgive him. Simba ordered him to leave the Pride Land and never return.

Scar tries to attack Simba but he was thrown from the top of the rock. He survived but was attacked and killed by hyenas.

Simba became the king and made Nala his queen.

Later in the Pride Rock, Rafiki presented Simba and Nala’s cub to the other animals in the Pride Land.

After watching the movie, our little boy keeps on singing Hakuna Matata. He cannot forget the funny duo of Timon and Pumba.

Breast cancer (BC) is an extremely common disease, the causes of which are well studied. According to the WHO, the total morbidity with of all types of breast cancer is 25% of all female cancer diseases.

Breast cancer (BC) is an extremely common disease, the causes of which are well studied. According to the WHO, the total morbidity with of all types of breast cancer is 25% of all female cancer diseases.


Heredity plays a large role in the emergence of a dangerous disease, so patients with an unfavorable family history are at high risk.

Predisposing factors are also obesity, hormonal imbalance, organ trauma, old age, the bad condition of the immune system.

Many forms of the disease respond well to treatment at their early stages, so mammography has great importance for women over 35 years old. The best prevention of breast cancer is a healthy lifestyle, sports, high-quality nutrition, lack of stress, well-chosen underwear.

Breast Cancer Symptoms

Symptoms of BC can manifest themselves in different forms, depending on the form and stage of the tumor process. There is an urgent need to register an appointment with a doctor in such cases:
● development of nodules under the skin;
● changed breast shape;
● red areas of skin;
● secretions from the nipples.

In the initial stages of BC there is no pain, so you should carefully monitor the slightest changes.
There are four classified stages of breast cancer with taking into account zero cycle characterized by minimal tissue damage and the absence of the fully formed tumor lesion.

Stages of Breast Cancer


The main stages are: 


1. New growth up to 2 cm in diameter.
2. Growth from 2 to 5 cm in diameter, possible spread of the process to the nearest lymph nodes.
3. The affection of the nearest and distant lymph nodes, the size of the tumor exceeds 5 cm.
4. The process has spread to other organs and tissues, the patient has signs of severe intoxication.

The prognosis of treatment depends not only on the stage of the cancer, but also on its type (there are highly aggressive and moderately aggressive forms of the disease).

According to the histological classification of tumors, there are two types of cancer, namely highly differentiated and low-differentiated cancers. In the first case, the cure is more favorable.

In case of the non-invasive process a tumor does not affect the surrounding tissue for a long time, whereas the invasive one spreads rapidly by affecting the nearest organs and lymph nodes.

The rapidly progressing types of breast cancer include:
● Hypothyroid. It is mostly diagnosed in young women up to 35 years. Patients with endocrine diseases, obesity are at high risk of disease. The disease is rapidly developing by forming metastasis in all organs.
● Ovary. It develops with appendage dysfunction, very often occurs due to the ovarian cysts, during the postpartum period. Like hypothyroid cancer, the disease is characterized by high aggressiveness and rapid development.
● Hypertension-adrenal cancer develops after the age of 48–65 years when the level of cortisol is too high. The pathology is as dangerous as the previous two.
● Tumors during pregnancy and lactation are the result of strong hormonal changes. They develop rapidly and require urgent treatment.


Types of Treatment
Like all cancers, breast cancer is treated according to this complex scheme:
● surgery;
● chemotherapy;
● postoperative radiotherapy;
● hormonal therapy;
● immunotherapy.

The main strategy is the removal of the tumor and the affected lymph nodes, destruction of residual cancer cells with the help of medicines and radiation.

The selection of the surgical technique depends on the form and stage of cancer. Today, along with radical mastectomy, doctors widely use sector resection, in the course of which they remove the tumor mass, part of the mammary gland (one quarter of the organ) and axillary lymph nodes.
The use of sectoral resection provides a high percentage of successful treatment and allows for the achievement of an acceptable aesthetic result.

For example, German hospitals offer the simultaneous remodeling (reconstruction) of the mammary gland or planned plastic surgery in the long-term period, with a persistent absence of relapses

Individual Treatment Programs for Breast Cancer
The bookinghealth.com service will help ease the selection of a medical center abroad, which treats cancer on the basis of the individually developed schemes. Therapeutic programs are compiled on the received diagnostic data from leading oncologists and doctors of related specialties. This approach leads to high chances of cure and reduction of the recovery period.

Sectoral resection relieves women from severe stress, which favorably affects the psychological condition of the patient in the postoperative period.

Attentive staff and comfortable living conditions in the hospitals are the additional benefits of treatment abroad.

The average cost of the operation is 6,000 euros, a course of chemotherapy costs 8,000 euros, while the price of radiation therapy reaches 10,000 euros. The prices are approximate, in different hospitals of the same country they vary in a wide range. The cost of treatment can be influenced by the stage and form of the disease, the types of surgical techniques used, the number of additional medical services selected by the patient in the postoperative period.
