It really is a shame that the other cancers don't get their fair share - after all if breast cancer gets all the attention, donations, funding, it sets everyone else back.

Just to add to the reason why Breast Cancer is front page, moreso than any other cancer is perhaps the high profile people who deal with it thus turning the spotlight on it. <br />Here's hoping that the spotlight can be turned onto the lesser known and highlight the importance of more funds for a cure.Sweet Birdy Lovehttp://www.sweetbirdylove.blgospot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-32973390819265907592010-10-13T14:14:38.187-04:002010-10-13T14:14:38.187-04:00Dear Maigan Lynn,

I just came back from the grocery store and guess what cancer the cashier asked me if I wanted to donate to? Breast Cancer! I asked the manager why they never seem to collect donations for other cancers and he said, "what other cancers?" I named seven other cancers...he just shrugged his shoulders. Sorry if you found my post harsh..but sometimes reality is harsh. As to the 'Sexy' reference..google Feb. 18th Time Magazine Breast cancer cover and look at that photo. Pretty darn sexy if you ask me...no connection with the ugly realities of Breast Cancer. I do appreciate your comment and hope you come visit again.<br /> Janet <br /><br />PS...my grandmother died of Breast Cancer so I do have a personal connection and a riskJanet Metzger, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004040279820041203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-80422296594680565122010-10-13T13:55:25.754-04:002010-10-13T13:55:25.754-04:00I agree about the money companies spend on the ads...I agree about the money companies spend on the ads...for anything.

However, it did come off a little harsh. I don't think Breast Cancer is sexy...to call a cancer sexy is just....strange...and I also don't believe it's any less important than lung cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer. What I think happened was people put the kind of passion that you displayed here into a marketing campaign to help fight the fight against breast cancer. It started out just as honest and simple as someone like yourself saying "I want to help...what can I do?" and it's exploded into this billion dollar advertising phenomenon...can you imagine what it must be like for those people that said "I want to help...what can I do?". They're no different than anyone else and they've far succeeded their monetary goals, I would imagine. However, there is still no cure. The ultimate goal is to find a cure for any cancer...it's not just about money. It's about heart. I'm no less aware of any other cancer than I am of breast cancer. The people who run the Breast Cancer campaigns have done an excellent job of making people aware...now it's time it was done for the rest of the cancers out there - maybe they won't put a colon cancer ribbon on a can of coke but there are other places to put it. It just needs someone to ask "I want to help...what can I do?"Maigan Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863521351643259953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-1556023408059932652010-10-13T11:09:24.018-04:002010-10-13T11:09:24.018-04:00Thank you for this post.

Neither of those cancers ever gets a lick of publicity. No one persons illness is more devestating than another. Breast cancer is as horrible as lung cancer, is as horrible as colon cancer, etc. Some are more treatable, some less, but anyone who has ever sat in a doctors office with a loved one and gotten the news that the big C is their new reality, or that their loved one has X number of months to live, cares a whit about which kind of cancer it is that is going to devastate their life. Lets wipe out ALL cancer!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-20068471493177004482010-10-13T08:41:16.370-04:002010-10-13T08:41:16.370-04:00I read this on you FB link...you raised an amazing...I read this on you FB link...you raised an amazing son...Kelly Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435791729143433819noreply@blogger.com
