Thank you for commenting on this. There’s so much “awareness” of breast cancer that all the other cancers are losing funding.
The fastest growing cancer in the U.S. is Thyroid. It gets very little funding. Some other cancers on the steady rise, such as Melanoma and Kidney, get practically zero funding for research and treatment options.
It’s very noble that people have gone “Pink”. Now it’s time to start focusing on cancers in general and raise overall awareness on the nation’s leading killer.
Correct...See my post #6...
This reminds me of the AIDS red ribbon campaign of the early 90s. It was like AIDS was the only fatal disease ever born. When people stopped paying attention to AIDS, then the campaign was changed to pediatric AIDS.
My godmother died of breast cancer in the late 70s. I don’t think she even reached 60 years of age. My cousin died a few years ago of bc and she was in her 40s. I realize how serious it is, but I fear all cancers, not just breast cancer.
