Breast cancer awareness month???

Get a life people!!!


....................So I've had breast cancer.  And I've been through the whole breast cancer scenario.  And I've had an operation.  And I've had radiotherapy.  And  4 years later I'm still on breast cancer drugs.  And I totally support 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month'.


But honestly??...............................  All this 'over the top stuff' is doing my head in.


I've survived.  And for that I'm very grateful.  A lot of other people have survived.  A lot haven't.  And that is desperately sad..................


..................I'm just not sure that all this focus on 'Breast Cancer' is the right route to go down.


Breast cancer seems to get sooooo much publicity.  There's 'moonlight walks', there's 'wear it pink' campaigns', there's 'fun runs', there's 'coffee mornings'.


Don't get me wrong - Obviously having breast cancer myself, I would love to find a cure for it, and I'm more than happy for everyone to be fund raising to find a cure.


However, there are hundreds of different forms of cancer and hundreds of illnesses that need funding.  And hundreds of people that need help.


..............And I'm just not sure how 'Breast Cancer' has made it into the spotlight?


Is it because it's a 'woman thing' and woman feel empowered to do something for themselves.  But lets not forget men can get breast cancer too.


Personally, I would like the cure for cancer to be universal.


If I had one wish in the whole wide world.................  I would wish for everyone who had cancer, (whatever kind of cancer), to be able to take one tablet and make it go away.


Wouldn't that be fabulous???
