A new study by the CDC found that Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder rates among children three to 17 are higher than recent years. The disorder now tops the list at number one for mental health issues of children under 18.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, about four million children have the disorder nationwide. That amounts to about 7 percent of children.

KOB Eyewitness News 4 found that trend does not carry over to New Mexico. Nevada and the Land of Enchantment have the lowest numbers of ADHD cases.

Shana Sanchez is a vibrant 34-years old woman and is dealing with her second bout of breast cancer.

Three years ago, Sanchez discovered a lump in her breast and immediately went to doctors who diagnosed it as cancer. She went through chemotherapy and had a lumpectomy which removed the lump and took care of the cancer.

Then in February 2013 cancer showed up again, this time in her other breast.

Angelina Jolie announced that she had a preventive double mastectomy. A Lovelace breast cancer patient and Dr. Calvin Ridgeway, a breast cancer surgeon at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, were interviewed by KOB-TV to give perspective to the story.

The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida; and practiced both general pediatrics and pediatric hematology/oncology for over 25 years in Lubbock, Texas.

There's many reasons why Adam Alvarez chose Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" to sing to his mother on Sunday. In many ways, Alvarez said he is raising himself up from tragedy.

Alvarez devoted two songs to his mother, Delia Alvarez, during an intimate performance at the chapel of Lovelace Women's Hospital, where Ms. Alvarez is a patient.

It has been two weeks since Alvarez, the choir director at St. Jude Thaddeus Church has performed in front of an audience.

"I'm still anxious about returning," Alvarez said.
