David Mise, 20, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in May, placed an item for auction on eBay and was told by eBay to take it down. Because of chemotherapy hair loss, David has decided to sell advertising space on his bald head to the highest bidder. David, the father of a beautiful little boy, is a sheet metal worker who cannot work right now. He is trying to raise money to pay some of his bills.

On David's new eBay auction page it reads:

"DUE TO HAVING TO COMPLY WITH EBAY'S VERY STRICT REGULATIONS AND RULES AND CHARITY REGULATIONS I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT I CANNOT LIST A REASON FOR MY AUCTION AND APOLOGIZE DEEPLY FOR MY LAST BEING PULLED OFF, IT SIMPLY WASN'T MY FAULT BUT I'M STILL HOPING FOR THE BEST AND STILL HAVE MY HEAD UP FOR AUCTION."

I believe the caps, as the statement appears on the eBay auction page, reflects his level of frustration. So there you go. Maybe David cannot tell you why his bald head is available as advertising space -- but we can. The eBay item number is: 330013072811 and the auction runs through Saturday at 5:52 p.m. David ends his eBay auction with Happy Bidding and God Bless. We wish you the best of luck and May God Bless you too.

According to Clemson University bioengineer Dr. Ted Bateman, astronauts who were on the International Space Station and cancer patients receiving radiation therapy back here on Earth suffer in common the same bone loss. As a result, both groups are more likely to develop fractures compared to the general population. It is an easy connection to make when considering cancer patients receiving radiation as part of cancer treatments experience a decrease in bone density and bone loss that can lead to easy fractures as a result of exposure to radiation, but how did the astronauts come to suffer the same type of bone loss? While in space, the astronauts experienced microgravity and were exposed to radiation from cosmic and solar sources.

"Recent exams of astronauts who were on the International Space Station showed signs of bone loss in the neck and vertebrae. Even five years after returning to Earth, they have not completely recovered from this loss," stated Dr. Bateman.

Conducting studies at Clemson University and the Kennedy Space Center, Osteoporosis Biomechanics Lab researchers exposed mice to replicated solar flares and clinical radiation exposure, to measure bone loss in mice, in the hopes that they can develop effective therapies for astronauts scheduled to spent time in space and for cancer patients receiving radiation therapy to fight cancer.

The National Cancer Institute provides a Radiation Therapy for Cancer: Questions and Answers fact sheet that explains radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, x-ray therapy, or irradiation as using a type of energy called ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. They also offer Radiation Therapy and You: A Guide to Self-Help During Cancer Treatment as an educational publication for cancer patients who will be receiving radiation therapy.
