For those who may be interested.

On Saturday 1 March 2014 at 3pm, Network Ten will air NBCF’s documentary - Shades of Pink, to reveal the diversity of the breast cancer experience.

Five Australians have come forward to share their story in their own words, and the words of their families. They are moving, inspiring, revealing and above all, deeply human.

Please spread the word to your friends and family using the Facebook and Twitter links below and remember to tune in at 3pm this Saturday on Network Ten!

Join us for our live chat on Facebook after the show or click here to share your ‘shade of pink’ story.

I think breast cancer already has more than enough publicity.

Perhaps you could promote the projects which focus on testicular cancer?

or perhaps you could.

That sounds like a bit of envy.

There are organizations that research and fund raise for all sorts of cancers. Men's and women's.

Movember is entirely devoted to men's health, including cancer.

Freddie is an advocate for Breast Cancer Awareness because she has been there, done that and got the T-shirt. Well not actually a t-shirt, but a really scary mask thingy leftover from the radiation treatment.

But I do agree, more campaigns for other cancers are needed. I would like to see more done to raise the awareness of ovarian cancer and testicular cancer.

Envy? For what? That sounds like a bit of interpersonal to me.

More time, money and celebrity endorsements are given to breast cancer when it has proven not to be the cancer which kills more people world wide. As well as rectal cancer, bronchial, lung cancer kills many more than breast.

There is nothing stopping anyone from starting a new thread on their area if interest instead of derailing this thread, which has a specific topic chosen by the opening poster.

If someone has had breast cancer themselves why wouldn't they want to spread awareness?

Good advice ..ignore.

In 2010, breast cancer was the second leading cause of cancer-related death in Australian women, accounting for 15.3 per cent of all cancer deaths in women.

yep, I misread the registered time, thought it said 12 months, so I repsonded. It must have said 12 mins. I'm not usually fooled by that poster and it's myriad of I.D's.

Oh please. How could anyone possibly call that interpersonal?

Freddie started a thread to point out a program on the weekend.

You are well within your rights to start a thread about testicular cancer and the lack of funding and focus on it if you wish.

There is no need to trash the thread Freddie started because you think breast cancer has had it's day.

Celebraties are entitled to support and endorse which ever form of cancer they choose.

What is the problem with breast cancer support? It didn't just happen. It happened because large numbers of women were dying from it. People felt strongly about that and started taking action. It grew from there.

I don't understand why you feel the need to silence breast cancer conversation instead of starting a conversation about the others.

eeeuwwww Freddie that's creepy ! (did he have warm hands?)

Hey, how's the boot scooter going?

Re: For those who may be interested.

freddie*rooster — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 05:32:42 GMT

He always warms his hands, like all good men should.

Umm do you mean the pain in the A person here?

He's got a chesty cough, I actually made an appointment with the Doc and he's had a chest x-ray this morning, tomorrow we should have the results.

The pain in the A person up there has gone back, he starts a weekly dose of chemo next Wednesday, the outlook is grim.
