Overshadowed by pink: Breast cancer is important, but so are other cancers
Breast cancer charities have done an amazing job raising funds and awareness, often overshadowing opportunities for other types of cancer.
I won’t be wearing pink this month, or taking part in a breast cancer walk, or donating money to breast cancer research. It’s not that I don’t think beating breast cancer is a good cause. It is. I believe that to my core. Money raised by breast cancer charities has increased screening and funded important research. It has saved lives, including those of people I know and love.
My issue is that the amazing job that breast cancer charities have done raising funds and awareness has, the one I am currently living with.
