I hear you
Dear Rhonda:
Me too share your feelings about this "pink" things. It bugs me that people think that I should wear or have things with the bc logo at home, or anywhere near me.. Having survived this long I really do not feel it makes or it has made a difference in my life. But Oh...Life goes on, doesn't it? I am just content and grateful we can count on so many drugs nowadays to help us live longer, healthier, hopeful, etc.etc.
No doubt this is an interesting posting. Thanks for sharing.
