Reading the health column in one of our major newspapers, I came across an article about how it is no recent thing for experts and reports to claim huge headlines about how this or that cancer is out of control because of this or that. There seems to be a new terror every week, [including the ridiculous report in another minor paper that cancer was caused by facebook].
Of course they are all overblown, and mostly laughable attempt by people needing to justify their salaries. But this doesn't take away the real risks that do exist about cancer. The important thing is not to make them into scare stories but just gentle advice and reminders that there are often pretty obvious ways to avoid cancer. Yet these do not get the headlines.
Take for example the fact that last week was sun awareness week, yet I can not remember it being heralded throughout the red tops [okay, there was an election], it was instead left up to a private health insurance company to fly the flag.
At least somebody is taking up the slack, and this company has a record with cancer as they also are amongst the few that offer specialist cancer care with a dedicated nurse for all their cancer patients.
