Hi Freddie.. Thanks for the info.

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?

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

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.
