Men can get breast cancer too. It's in no way just a women's disease. And it isn't about "being pretty", it's about the real chance that the one life you have might be cut short by cancer.
Yes but the only thing breast cancers on is "Oh no she lost her breasts" not the actual cancer itself. I am saying women can look pretty with or without tits and that they should not make such a huge deal out of the fact they do not have it.
Some women are small naturally as well. It does not make them less of a woman. Having bigger tits does not mean more feminine or more of a female. It just means bigger tits. No one seems to focus on the cancer itself and no one ever once mentioned the fact "Well men can get it to".
Even the breast cancer support bracelets say "I love boobies". See? Do men generally have boobs? Unless you are overweight or have a hormonal issue NO! you might have breasts but men do not generally have boobs. Yet BOOBS and women is the only thing it ever focuses on.
Do you understand what I am getting at? It never focuses on the cancer. Its all about who does and who does not have tits. Anyone who is judging a women on how big the tits are is really Shallow don't you think? Should we be looking at women like sacks of meat or should we be looking at them like people?
That is why I do not see the point in such a issue of losing the breast. That does not make less of a woman! Women should love themselves breasts or not!
It's a psychologically traumatising thing to have to have part of your body removed, even if the alternative is death, that isn't lessened. How do you not understand that?
Oh I do. I have been treated for precancer and now have this hanging over my head. I have to have MRIs on top of mammograms, and I really can't afford it. That doesn't mean I want to think about it every day! Everybody knows the recommendations for mammograms and self-exams. We all need to see our doctors regularly and they will remind us. I see no need for public reminders of disease. We need to live while we are alive. Our support group is our friends and family. I don't see why the whole public has to think about cancer all the time. It's depressing.
Is it normal that I'm sick of pink ribbons and the whole campaign?
