As there being politicians there, they may not know the stigma that breast cancer has in society. The seriousness that this is a true cancer and that it kills. I have met many people that think if you have a mastectomy that you are cured and they are not aware that it can and does metastasize. After all it is just a breast! I think that they need to be aware of this as well as with other types of cancer ie: testicular cancer. There are other types of cancer that have a much poorer prognosis but if you are the one that dies from it, the prognosis is the same, and the impact to your family is the same!
