Three
facts that all of April’s friends should know about her:
1. April dedicated much of
her life to teaching those dedicated professionals who
capture the medical data on individual cancer patients that
researchers use in the fight again this disease. These data
collectors are known as cancer (or tumor) registrars.
2. Her favorite place to
visit and explore (and attend cooking classes) was New
Orleans, where she had many friends, including the members
of a well-known Cajun band.
3. She always liked a good
party. April always told me that when she eventually lost
her battle with pancreatic cancer, she didn’t want a wake,
but wanted a party.
We’re
going to put all these facts together to honor her when the
National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA) holds their
Annual Educational Conference in New Orleans in May.
April’s colleagues, friends and relatives will hold a
Celebration of Life/Cajun Dance Party. This event will also
serve as a fundraiser for an educational fund to be named in
her honor. Learn the
details.
We
currently have no classes scheduled. Please check back
for announcements of new any classes
We
still intend to publish the Third Edition of the Cancer
Registry Casebook as soon as the standard setters publish
their final changes for 2018. |
