It's sexualization of women and a disease pure and simple. It's just wrong to focus so much on saving the breasts rather than saving the lives. Like you so correctly pointed out, it's not the tumor in the breast that kills, it's when the cancer metastisizes. That's what we need to be focusing on. Breast cancer shouldn't be turned into a joke, even if intentions are good. Sorry for my little rant. Great post. And good for you for participating in the walks/runs!Nancy's Pointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552492154103785651.post-7987857174180282752012-01-11T18:51:35.724-08:002012-01-11T18:51:35.724-08:00This is something that has always bothered me too....This is something that has always bothered me too.
