Three University of Washington graduate degrees are in the future for our family. Chuck has a master’s in accounting, Jenny an MIS degree and now Max has committed to the U Dub PhD program in child clinical psychology. That’s three chances for the Huskies football and basketball teams to be better. They will have to work hard to meet the standards of that other purple sports powerhouse Northwestern.
Purple also happens to be the color of pancreatic cancer awareness. Each month of the year marks designated awareness for various forms of cancer and other illness, most notably the pink color for breast cancer awareness. November is pancreatic cancer awareness month. The American Cancer Society estimates that of the nearly 49,000 who will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015, about 40,500 are expected to die from it.
Early detection is the difference between life and death, so maybe its awareness month should be held several months earlier. Miracles do happen. Northwestern went to the Rose Bowl. My pancreatic tumor was benign. The basketball Cats will make the NCAA tournament yet.
