I would say Awareness is NOT a cure.

Early Detection is not a cure.

There is no such thing as catching cancer "early" If it is cancer, it is too late for early.

Breast cancer is not cute, pink or sexy

Breast cancer is ugly.

I am sick of actresses saying they are cancer-free. If you are going to speak, at least speak the truth. There are no guarantees honey.

The same BS that happens in politics, happen in the breast cancer research world: waste, greed, inefficiency, red tape, doing the same thing over and over again with the same non-results.

This article was linked to the Breast Cancer Action Facebook Page and I think it is a very good read.
