With the number of skin cancer cases diagnosed on the rise every year, is there a treatment that's effective and leaves little scarring? "Absolutely," says Dr. Carl Schanbacher of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, where he performs cutting-edge micrographic surgery. You'll meet one of his patients. Health Corner visits the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Dallas. Not only has the organization raised millions of dollars for breast cancer research, it has also increased public awareness, and offers new hope for women everywhere. Dr. Lisa talks one-on-one with Nancy Mercurio from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Discover how to take part in the 60-mile Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Dr. John La Puma explains why onions are worth crying over, and makes a spicy two bean chili you'll enjoy all year-round. Plus, Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Huysman explain why "letting go" is something all care givers must learn to do. And, Jill Repp on water safety for the whole family, and Todd Whitthorne on the benefits of walking.
