Hi Rhonda H
This is not at all a stupid question. Being the benefactor of everything pink goes along with the diagnosis. I received pink ribbons, pink playing cards, pink scotch tape, pink frying pan, pink beads, pink bracelet and of course, my favourite, pink M&M's.
I can't tell you exactly how I feel about all the pink stuff because I don't always feel the same about it. I am gracious and accept the gifts from people, at times feeling that the cancer is all they see in me, but I know they mean well. Some days I want to wear my pink ribbons and pink baseball cap, and like marejo, I look good in pink!! After all, I am PinkGirl and I have a pink streak in my hair, so................I don't know.....sometimes I like it, and sometimes I want it to all go away.
