I'm grateful for it though because it helped create a grassroots movement around this disease that NO other type of cancer (or disease for that matter) even comes close too. The truth is breast cancer research funding far outweighs any other form of cancer research funding (even those far more deadly) because of the pink ribbon and all this awareness that has been created and because of that we have drugs like Tamoxifin and Herceptin and programs like the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program where low-income woman can go to get their breast cancer screenings and treatment with our without health insurance. <br /><br />I know it's overwhelming and I wouldn't recommend the Sweet and Low's either. I worked for the American Cancer Society (who I'm proud to say really limits these types of corporate partnerships) and I don't buy the pink blender. Instead I'll be down at Nationals Baseball Park this Halloween for the DC Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, volunteering at the volunteer check in tent like I do every year and wearing my pink ribbon. This year will be a little sweeter though Kate because I have your health to celebrate! <br /><br />NED is on the way my friend, I just know it!<br /><br />XO,<br />ColsColsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13721121.post-36550333838682991062009-10-12T11:37:04.431-04:002009-10-12T11:37:04.431-04:00Hi Kate:

I could not agree with you more! I had a pink scrub top on at work and One of the doctors asked me if I was wearing "Breast cancer pink" I was pissed and was kind of bitchy in letting her know it was just pink! I will be proud to tell everyone your my friend! when everyone asks me if I saw the article in PL about the young women with BC :) EBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13721121.post-54630640975970404332009-10-09T22:56:35.892-04:002009-10-09T22:56:35.892-04:00I have a pink ribbon on my car for my mom and you ...I have a pink ribbon on my car for my mom and you I hear ya though!
