Weekly Round-Up
Time for this week’s round-up of the best blog posts I’ve read over the past week. These posts touched me, taught me something, and inspired me, so I wanted to share them with you. Remember, if you’ve written a post you’d like readers to see, just leave a comment.
In honour of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, ProstateCancer.Net is celebrating with the theme of “Health Leaders and Their Experiences” with a special book giveaway – and Gogs’ book “Prostate Cancer Strikes” is included.
September is also Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and Amy shares resources on her blog to help spread awareness of gynecological cancers over the coming weeks.
Carolyn shares 9 lessons about women’s heart disease that future doctors will learn in med school.
OurMBCLife features an interview with Roberta Lombardi who talks about her nonprofit Strength for Healing and how she’s cutting the red tape in order to financially support single mothers living with MBC.
Terri tackles the topic of “freudenspanne” and the impact of lifestyle factors on breast cancer risk and survivorship: nutrition, exercise, and beyond.
Connie is deciding on whether to go to her 50th High School Reunion.
A sobering post from Chris on the UK’s “looming cancer catastrophe.
Janet reflects on how cancer has shown her just how much of my life is outside of my control.
Martha shares her thoughts on rapid autopsy particularly for those with metastatic breast cancer. She writes, “As difficult as the topics of death, tissue donation, and rapid autopsy are, I know that I want to do whatever I can to help change the statistics of this disease.”
Barbara celebrates the joy of doing what she loves in her life.
Becky reminds us that healing takes time in the wake of her recent surgery.
Finally this week, in anticipation of “Pinktober” next month, Abigail reminds us of the importance of evaluating fundraising opportunities.
Yours with much love always

Thank you dear Marie for sharing these nine educational modules from the Canadian Women’s Heart Health Alliance that can be used ‘right off the shelf’ as medical and nursing school classroom lessons on women’s heart disease – a unique project aimed not only at trainees, but also useful for current healthcare professionals in Cardiology, General Internal Medicine, and Emergency Medicine. Reaching medical and nursing students may just be the path to improving medicine’s known gender gap in our future doctors and nurses!
