Re: The Pink-tober Madness begins!
I agree...a cure is the only way, and the money needs to go towards research for a cure. So frustrating.
The day my breast cancer was diagnosed, the doctor said "You caught it early, and I know its upsetting news to hear, but you are going to be just fine." Huh.
I didn't even know there were different types of breast cancer until I was diagnosed. I had never even heard of HER2 or triple negative.
People need to know these things. They need to know its not always an easy cure like we see these celebrities going on about...I mean really, are they implying that I am stage IV because I didn't get mammograms? lol Well, I did.
If everyone does not know by now to do self breast exams and get their mammograms, they must live under a rock...
