I feel like if I see another pink ribbon, I'll puke. I'm just tired of thinking of cancer and don't want to advertise it. My son recently gave me the prettiest cross key chain holder. He said he couldn't decide between the cross or the breast cancer ribbon, I told him he made the right choice. I have been more drawn to crosses since my diagnosis. I guess it's a faith thing. I have never been one to wear pink or the ribbons to begin with. Through treatment I did wear the little pink bracelet (lance armstrong type). But took it off when chemo ended. I still have it and hopefully will never have to put it on again..sherryg
