Sad personal news: One of the sweetest women I've ever known died a few days ago. Her parents (RIP) lived next door to me, and I also got to know her as the director of Coastside Hope, where I volunteered for many years. I was just commiserating with one of her sisters as we ran into to each other in our driveways this evening.

How to protect wildland firefighters from cancer risk — What On Earth

Years after working in smoky, sooty conditions controlling fires, workers can experience the adverse health effects of the job. Proving the link can be difficult. But now in British Columbia, wildland firefighters are getting early cancer screening and expanded workers compensation coverage for cancer. With climate change contributing to the hot, dry conditions that lead to longer, more intense fire seasons, we explore what else can be done to reduce the exposure to carcinogens these front-line workers face.

Also, #FuckCancer. Having cancer sucks and I don't want Chris to have to go through the surgery and recovery alone.

Here’s a chance to help a kind fellow human being in their fight to survive cancer.

An amazing friend is fundraising for her beloved brother’s treatment for bowel cancer.

Help Shol Fight Cancer Again

My brother, Syamsul Kamal (“Shol”), is once again fighting bowel cancer. After surgery and chemotherapy gave us hope, the cancer has returned aggressively. I am raising funds on his behalf to help cover the cost of his ongoing treatment and care. My name is Sabrina, and I am writing this

Spent Sunday with Mozart, this was the view from her window. I know lots of folks revere this institution, but I’ll never forget what they did to Henrietta Lacks. Now they are experimenting (with consent) on my friend. Research is important but it also costs more than can be measured. #FuckCancer
