81 percent of the women survived compared to 71 percent who only got iv chemotherapy. and half of those women who were treated with a double dose, 10 years ago are still alive today which doctors say is a huge improvement. now, in the study however some women did say that the side effects from the chemotherapy in the abdomen seemed worse but researchers are still studying this therapy. they're not exactly sure why it works but they hope that it can help many more people in the future. rick and monica. >> okay, thank you ali. >> thank you. former president jimmy carter underwent surgery today to remove a small mass from his liver. the carter foundation says the elective procedure at emory hospital in atlanta went well. his prognosis is excellent. by the way he is 90 years old.

coordinator bill davis comes to chip's defense today. davis who has been in the nfl for 20 years says this is as good as it gets here. >> it's outstanding and i say that from all sincerity. he has got one of the most open door policies of guys i've been around and you know the guys i've been around and you can make your own assessments. he is wide opened. ask the guys in the building. he really does. it's really being portrayed outside different than it is inside 'cause it really is a easy to be around atmosphere. >> reporter: and davis has if reason. they moved brandon boykin to pittsburgh, it was all about the position of depth. they have a lost defensive backs that they can use so he was expendable. he is sad to see him go. the eagles, though, they feel they are just fine in the secondary live at the novacare complex, jeff skversky channel6 "action news. ducis, jamie, whoever is back there, back to you guys. >> we will see you next half

hour, jeff. thank you very much. the phillies have the day off tomorrow a familiar face with return in an adversarial role. jimmy rollins and the dodgers will be in town to begin a three game series. the phillies faced rollins in los angeles last month but this will be his first game back in philadelphia since he was traded in the off season. this should be interesting to see the crowd's reaction to j. roll. >> should be a standing ovation. why wouldn't it? phenomenal guy, a hall of famer. he has great numbers. still doing it. you know, he's the man. i always mess with him but he's still doing it, man still playing golden glove short to. he's awesome. >> the phillies fell short of a four game sweep of the braves with a six-two loss yesterday. chase peterson did most of the damage. despite the loss the phillies are still 1213 since the all-star break. that's a look at sports. rick and monica. >> all right well, ducis tell

jamie we were thinking of her would you do that. >> nice job. >> nice to see you. still ahead on "action news" tonight severe weather causes tragedy near chicago. organizers racing to evacuate a music festival but the storm hit first. we got new details about the man hit and killed when a tent went airborne. >> also stepping outside sky6 hd looking live in atlantic city new jersey, meteorologist cecily tynan with that exclusive accuweather 7-day. we're going to get a break from the heat wave but it won't be today. coming up.

>> people in the chicago area are cleaning up from a round of deadly severe weather. a father of two died yesterday when a tent collapsed at a music festival. 15 other people were injured. witnesses say organizers had shut down rides and were trying to get everyone out of the main tent when strong winds from a storm lifted it into the air. >> wow. >> serious stuff. hot, hot hot. pretty seriously hot here. >> one more day of it and then things change. by the end of the week it will be a little bit chillily. >> my goodness. >> believe it or not, storm tracker6 live double scan showing most of our region is rain free. there is one isolated downpour working out of northern berks county right now. elsewhere, though, it's really just all about the heat. the action cam taking a look up today and seeing, yes plenty of sunshine and blue skies and feeling the seventh

straight day of temperatures in the 90's. our morning low 73 degrees. normal low or average low 69. our afternoon high shot up to 93 degrees. the average high for this time of the year 87 and the record high 98 set back in 2006. not a record but the seventh day in heat wave number three. right now it's still 91 degrees in philadelphia it's 89 in millville, 86 in allentown, 88 in trenton with a wind off the ocean a lot cooler down the shore. avalon and the boardwalk in atlantic city it's 80 degrees. that being said, this is where most of the humidity is with the wind off the ocean that marine influence. it's pretty muggy at the boardwalk in atlantic city. it's 72 degrees. the dewpoint. inlands though philadelphia the dewpoint 58 degrees. not too bad. a lot of area's dewpoints in the low 60's so a little bit more humid than over the weekend but not oppressive. now, satellite6 along with action radar showing what will end the heat wave is a cold front. it's currently across the midwest. not a solid band of thunderstorms with this but as

it rolls in, it could bring us some scattered thunderstorms especially in the overnight hours. so, the next 12 hours a warm night, partly cloudy skies with a thunderstorm in spots. 68 degrees in the suburbs, 75 for center city. and future tracker showing that we could get some strong storms in the overnight hours especially south of philadelphia. could be rolling off the coast around 8:30 so don't be surprised if you do hear a rumble of thunder early tomorrow morning and it is going to be another hot day. with this front limping through our afternoon high up near 90 degrees. if we hit that, that's heat wave number eight -- heat wave -- the eighth day in heat wave number three i was trying to say. talking a lot about the heat. then as we head into wednesday, this cold front slips off the shore. it will be seasonably warm, 88 degrees. rick standing up right now. lower humidity on wednesday but that front will stall south of us. a wave of low pressure will develop along that and that means we could have a soaking rain thursday into friday. much needed rain. down the shore tomorrow lots of clouds in the morning some

afternoon sunshine very warm. atlantic city beach haven surf city 87. ocean city 88. rehoboth and bethany a high of 90. so the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow hot and humid with a high near 90. wednesday a warm day but lower humidity. a lot more comfortable 88 degrees. on thursday we cloud up with some rain developing a high of 80 and friday looks to be a cloudy cool and damp day with showers, perhaps some thunderstorms, a high of only 79 trees. we dry things outer on saturday. but it stays cool with a high of 79 and sunday still on the cool side. clouds with some sunshine and a high of 82 degrees. and monday mostly sunny with a high of 84 degrees. so, what i meant to say tomorrow will be day number eight of the third heat wave of the year. >> took you a few times to get that. >> look, i got a headache. it's just going to be hot again tomorrow. we'll be right back. >> make it easy. >> stay with us.
