Not if you go through it!
I am generally anti-awareness.

I’m perplexed by this campaign. It is supposed to raise awareness of breast cancer. OK, who on earth is not already AWARE of breast cancer? How much more awareness do we need? What will happen if we all think about it 24 hours a day?
I notice this article fails to mention the relationship between Susan G. Komen, breast cancer AND abortion.
I don’t want to say these pink ribbon activists are whores, but.....
A recent “Race for the cure” event had me wondering if there was a cure waiting at the finish line for whoever came in 1st...
The article should also have mentioned that heart attacks also kill more women than breast cancer (and twice as many men as women).
In my experience, women are completely unaware that they are more likely to die of lung cancer, or heart disease than they are of breast cancer. They not only refuse to believe the statistics — they sometimes accuse anyone of mentioning them of somehow being “anti-women”. Women seem to think that heart disease only affects men — so, they aren't as concerned about that aspect of their health, as they should be.
Indeed, the disproportionate focus on breast cancer is harming women — by diverting their attention from other (more) serious threats to their health.
I have a feeling that if we can find an out and out cure for one kind of cancer, that cure can be appied to other types of cancer as well.

Actually 3 more weeks, unfortunately. October has 5 Sundays this year.

You are a sad and pitiful human being. Unbelievable that a sentient human being would think ‘hmmmm, you’ve got breast cancer, you must be a whore’.
Oh. My mom never had an abortion. She did, however, survive breast cancer.
God it must be hell living in such a binary world.
I have discovered I really don’t miss the NFL all that much...with everyone watching games; I can go out for a drive with very little traffic in my way or get caught up on my reading.
I would try and respond to your remarks, but I’m afraid I’ve lost the ability to dumb down and use simple one syllable words so that you could comprehend rational logical thinking.
Maybe this might help you:
Eff off.
(Is that simple enough for ya?)
No prostate cancer awareness month as the guy’s continue to get hosed.

LOL. Not unless you can get me banned.
Whatever. I’m still offering free mammograms.
And I take my time.
When you mix the alcohol with something else, it ceases to be a martini even if you serve it in a martini glass. I don't care how worthy the cause, they need to get that right too.
Snarky remarks aside, please tell me how in the HELL did you arrive at a connection between my “pink ribbon activists are whores” remarks and your idea I said, thought or inferred.... “hmmmm, you’ve got breast cancer, you must be a whore”.
I’m sorry about your mom and all. But is her being a breast cancer victim the reason why you jumped so wrongly at the wrong idea?
Try not to read what is not there, next time.
The think that irks me, most of the time...they inform people to check for lumps...but they rarely, rarely ever mention the most aggressive form of all and it simply looks like a RASH on the breast!
And it’s the most aggressive form...it’s not just lumps, bumps, etc, RASHES can be Inflammatory Breast Cancer, is mostly misdiagnosed, and precious time lost, because it can move quickly. One day a rash, and within a few days or a week a major problem...it goes through the lymp system!
Look for rashes and don’t just dismiss them...
