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!

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.

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.

Hmmm.. all I can add is that the title says "For those who may be interested" - if you're not, why bother commenting at all??

Hello Freddie,

Thank you promoting our 'Shades of Pink' doco premiering on Channel TEN on Saturday 1 March at 3pm and supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation! We'd love to hear your thoughts on our Facebook page - www.facebook.com/NBCFAustralia and if you're around, we'd love for you to join us on our live chat.

For those of you who won't be able to see the doco on Saturday, it will also be uploaded to our YouTube channel and the Channel TEN website (for a month). Sarah Murdoch has an interesting reply to those who say that breast cancer receives too much funding or awareness - worth tuning in for that!

From the team at NBCF

Waves to Freddie......and you have my support in your endeavours.

I think a lot of women who haven't experienced breast caner are fully aware that it could happen to them too.

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

or perhaps you could.

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.

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?

love*today · ‎26-02-2014

weird how this new ID has already cried about interpersonal and is trying to derail this important thread??
I would ignore the attention bleep.

Cheers for the heads up freddie

edit is that my swear didnt get bleeped hahaha

cherry*135 · ‎26-02-2014

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.
