Re: rewrite breast cancer awareness message the way YOU want it to read

like Lisa's "no prevention but early detection" the earlier they find it, the better the odds.
I have never, never, never been told it was my fault and never made to feel guilty nor have I felt it was my fault and it makes me angry to hear that you've somehow received that message. If it's your doctor, change doctors. I've never heard of anyone being told BC was their fault.
Doctors don't even tell that to patients who smoked and got lung or throat cancer, they just say stop smoking. How is it "our" fault??? what do they say "we" did or didn't do???
I think you are still in shock from the diagnosis, it is frightening. Take heart that there are so many people on this site who have survived metatastic bc for a decade or more and still going.
I think it's great you have a goal and purpose and it will be very helpful.
Take care of yourself, try to have some fun.
hugs
