A new experimental drug is having remarkable results in patients with terminal cancer. At the Louisana state medical center doctors are using a radioactive product that is already used to find and diagnoisis a tumor but now it's helping destroy them. By injecting the radioactive material into the patient, it finds the tumor and attaches itself to it. This allows the patient to get a direct dose of radiation without hurting other tissue. Doctors are finding tumors are shrinking and patients can get off their pain medication faster. The F-D-A is working with L-S-U to help develope the drug.

Check out the extra two legs on this duck, this special creature is making our video of the day. The duckling was born in a Romanian village not far from an oil refinery. Folks wondered how the duck could move around with an extra set of legs. It was a surprise to many to find the duckling ran comfortably with the extra pair of legs hanging like a tail. Some villagers believe pollution from the oil refinery is to blame for the mutation. Others see it as a sign from God.
