Before the pandemic of COVID-19 brought healthcare to its knees, Diabetes was already a global epidemic with more than 420 million people living with this dreaded disease worldwide. November is declared National Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the world team up to bring attention to diabetes. When you consider that one in two of the people who have diabetes go by undiagnosed, it is easy to understand why an awareness month is needed.

Even when beaches, rivers and pools were ordered closed due to COVID-19, there were water deaths. From a two-year-old at a family pool in Cunupia to a teenager at Claxton Bay, the tragic stories were reported.

“So doc, you mean, I can’t smoke at the corner with my padna (partner) and keep the mask at the side?” A question that baffled me on the radio programme, The Lunchtime Doctor, when the caller asked in a serious tone. It brought to my sudden realisation that awareness was still necessitated, in 2020, during a pandemic; on Lung Cancer, the risk factors and the benefits of smoking cessation.

Caregiving is a tough job. This November, within which numerous Health Days are commemorated, we remember the individuals who lovingly give baths and medications, clean houses, shop for, and comfort the millions of elderly and ailing patients who are clients, friends or loved ones. We also recognise that the everyday demands of caregiving are already a full-time job, made even more challenging with the additional decision-making and protective measures to safeguard your loved ones from COVID-19.

Trinidadian-born entomologist Dr Michelle Samuel-Foo never had all her school books and had to study by the light of a candle whenever there was a power outage at her home in Baker Trace, Guaico. Still, she had a fire inside that would not go out.

In the ever-widening conversation of virtual learning that has gripped the globe since the start of the pandemic, its advantages and disadvantages, the digital divide and those who risk falling behind, one age group has been seemingly left completely out of the conversation. Perhaps there is a feeling of complacency that children between ages two and seven have more than enough time to catch up, it is the older ones we must worry about.

If you are undergoing Chemotherapy and experience episodes of memory loss, or difficulty in focusing or simply feel your brain is all fogged up, you are not imagining these symptoms. Sometimes people with cancer worry about, joke about, or become frustrated by what they describe as mental cloudiness or changes they might notice during, and after cancer treatment. This cloudiness or mental change is commonly referred to as “chemo brain”.

All people, whether male or female, are born with some breast cells and tissue. Even though males do not develop milk-producing breasts, a man’s breast cells and tissue can still develop cancer. Though, male breast cancer is very rare, it is just as serious as that which women experience.

Candace Pierre-Sooklal, Breast Cancer Survivor
“I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer in my left breast in 2014, at the age of 30. I first became aware of breast cancer when I got a cancer scare at age 17. Since then, I started supporting breast cancer groups. When the lump was discovered I figured it would be negative just as it was in the past, so I didn’t worry. It was only when the lump started to cause pain, I decided to get a lumpectomy privately.
