March Prepares to Swoop In

As anyone older than 39 can testify, that’s the age at which Time begins to warp and to spin past at increasingly accelerated speeds!

Christmas, New Year, and Valentine’s Day have vanished over the horizon, and now March is looming, already giving us a taste of the rain and gale-force winds for which Holland is renowned, and heralding in a number of international and (in the US) national events.

One of these, and of particular significance, is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Cancer in any form is frightening, but the colorectal version is especially insidious, because often no symptoms at all are evident until the disease has reached a critical stage.

It’s essential for Americans to support Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and the first best way to do this is to make an appointment with your general practitioner or proctologist. Pronto. A screening takes little time, but could be just long enough to save your life.

Colorectal cancer is no joke, and I’d never make light of the disease or of the doctors and healthcare workers who are dedicated to its prevention and treatment.
Nevertheless, human beings are a species blessed with the gift of humour, often of the darkest kind, and this can extend to amusing images or text on T-shirts and other items even in the most sombre of circumstances.

This brings us to the second best way to show that you’re behind (no pun intended) Colorectal Cancer Cancer Awareness Month. Why not wear a cheeky (OK, that was on purpose) T-shirt to that medical appointment in March? Or, if you’re a doctor, hang a framed wall tile in your office, or wear a pin to make your patients feel more at ease. Laughter is, after all, an effective relaxant.

To this end (hehehehehehe) I’ve created a handful of designs that you can view and buy at National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month


To whet your appetite, here are three examples:
