My editor (who doesn’t know me well enough) likes to let me come up with my own writing topics. “What do I write about?” I thought to myself; then, it struck me: In the cancer care world, where I live and breathe, there’s a different cancer assigned to every month. I figured y’all don’t want to hear about cancer every month, but I suspected that other diseases, syndromes and situations must have their own flavor of the month list.
So, I looked for a comprehensive list of awareness topics for April. Turns out there are at least 29 different diseases and causes that we should be aware of this month. Had I simply listed them all, it would have completely filled my column, which would have made my assignment much easier. It would have been the last column I would be asked to write, as well.
