         <title>Humphrey Bogart Lost His Battle Against Esophageal Cancer</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="humphrey bogart" src="http://celebrities.healthdiaries.com/bogart.jpg" width="220" height="270" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10" />Humphrey Bogart was diagnosed with <a href="http://www.healthdiaries.com/esophageal-cancer.htm">esophageal cancer</a> in 1956.  He was notorious for his heavy drinking and smoking, two things known to contribute to esophageal cancer.</p>

<p>The cancer had spread to his lymph nodes.  His treatment included a nine hour surgery to remove the tumor, two lymph nodes, and a rib.  The surgery was followed by a course of chemotherapy.  </p>

<p>At first, Bogart seemed to respond to the treatments but after 6 months the cancer recurred and he underwent radiation therapy.  </p>

<p>Unfortunately, Bogart could not fight the cancer and he fell into a coma and died at home on January 14, 1957 at the age of 57.  </p>

<p>His last words: "I never should have switched from scotch to martinis.”</p>]]></description>

         <title>Ann Richards Dies at 73</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="ann richards" src="http://celebrities.healthdiaries.com/annrichards.jpg" width="160" height="179" align="left" hspace="10" />Former Texas Governor Ann Richards has died at the age of 73 after a battle with <a href="http://www.healthdiaries.com/esophageal-cancer.htm">esophageal cancer</a>.  </p>

<p>She was diagnosed in March 2006 and underwent chemotherapy at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.</p>

<blockquote>Ms. Richards rose to the governorship with a come-from-behind victory over millionaire cowboy Clayton Williams in 1990. She cracked a half-century male grip on the governor's mansion and celebrated by holding up a T-shirt that showed the state Capitol and read: "A woman's place is in the dome."</blockquote>
