I just know it's just so hard for those with other cancers to see all the attention bc gets. And some of this pink merch is just stupid. Thanks for checking out my post & for your comments. xxLunaTechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225723179804025294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818125631590936896.post-91146535996583654382015-10-12T09:24:47.433-04:002015-10-12T09:24:47.433-04:00Hi Kimberly,
I think you articulated your thoughts...Hi Kimberly,<br />I think you articulated your thoughts and feelings really well. I am not opposed to pink and/or pink ribbons either. But how the heck did breast cancer turn into the shopping disease in the first place? And I do think the pink ribbon has become the bully of ribbons.

Although I def celebrated certain "milestones" along the way, I totally disagree with the whole pink party atmosphere that surrounds bc & especially in October. I'm taking October back for the colors of leaves turning, sweaters, & Halloween fun! Thanks so much for commenting & sharing my post. xxLunaTechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225723179804025294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818125631590936896.post-13020939548913620402015-10-11T21:00:50.135-04:002015-10-11T21:00:50.135-04:00I feel the same way as you do about pinktober. I u...I feel the same way as you do about pinktober. I used to participate in many of those walks before cancer happened to me but as I learned more and more about this disease, I wasn't feeling it anymore, because I never really felt stage 4 patients were getting support. I think the system wants us in denial so we can "keep going" with our lives. And now we have a culture which is hard to change. I feel many patients aren't aware that we are all at risk for developing metastatic breast cancer. They think they're cured. And hey, I hope they never have to face cancer again. <br /><br />I also feel it's unfair to those patients who have died and to their families to be celebrating but that's just me. I have family members who have died of bc and def. don't feel like celebrating. thesmallc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818125631590936896.post-63736868991689133592013-10-06T10:51:21.183-04:002013-10-06T10:51:21.183-04:00Karen, Thanks so much for keepin up with me & ...Karen, Thanks so much for keepin up with me & commenting here.

I too am not against the "pink", but there are so many other horrible things out there, cancer being just one of them. Awareness needs to be brought to all of them. My mother passed away in 2004, she had Alzheimer's Disease. Yes, there are programs out there to bring awareness to that too. I just feel the "pink" has gone overboard. And you're absolutely right about fundraising, only a small portion goes to research. When I donate, I give directly to the cause. Thanks for letting me vent a bit.<br />KarenKaren Van Hornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818125631590936896.post-75589130671997621082013-10-03T08:50:41.185-04:002013-10-03T08:50:41.185-04:00Thanks Eileen! *Gets excited when Blogroll Blogge...Thanks Eileen! *Gets excited when Blogroll Bloggers comment here!* =)LunaTechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225723179804025294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818125631590936896.post-91331746953453751392013-10-03T03:31:14.458-04:002013-10-03T03:31:14.458-04:00Great post.
