Is there anyone more annoying than breast cancer awareness is the only month advertising?

I support cancer awareness, but why is cancer of breast cancer Awareness Month just advertising? Many people suffer from all types of cancer every day family and I have been suffering from leukemia and pancreatic cancer. It seems that if a celebrity is diagnosed with cancer or has died of cancer that is the only way to raise awareness will be announced. Now that Patrick Swayze has passed I'm sure of pancreatic cancer are well known coming this November (the awareness of pancreatic cancer Month) Does anyone agree?

No, I disagree. The Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Breast Cancer are not high profile, because the deaths of celebrities, but by a much simpler reason – hard work. Awareness campaigns and breast cancer Awareness Month began as an AC campaign of ordinary women, many with cancer, to raise awareness so that people knew the symptoms, is examined regularly, attended routine mammograms, so enthusiastic participation and hard work of women made it grow into something nationally, then internationally recognized (and then the great companies charge). I agree that consciousness must be raised about other types of cancer, while competitive too.and Hate the disease, "I can see why there is resentment by an imbalance in awareness and fundraising. I've had family members suffering from other cancers – Lung, testis, stomach and cervical cancer and leukemia, all but one of them died of their cancers. There is, as you point out, other awareness months cancer, weeks, etc. tapes, but the fact is that none has the hard work put in the breast cancer awareness is. Now, I've had breast cancer and I personally do not much like BC Awareness Month – or October rose as the most cynical of us call it. Support for those with a deadly disease that kills 33 women a day in the UK and 112 a day in the U.S. (Statistics only I'm not being ethnocentric) has become a marketing opportunity for large companies, with about 1% of material costs rose is specially made to charity for breast cancer, the rest in the pockets of retailers. The fluffy pink material infuriates me, and I'm not at all "tickled pink" by (Walmart) Asda trivialization of a disease that can kill me yet. Magazines carry October stories of gay survivors who claim to have cleared (no leeway with breast cancer), and often say BC has changed their lives for good – very different to anyone I know who has had breast cancer. And it has negative consequences for patients with breast cancer too – I think this is counterproductive, the marketing hype and fundraising surrounding breast cancer, by trivializing a deadly disease, is to lead people to believe, wrongly, that cancer breast is 1) not very serious, certainly not as bad as many other types of cancer (many women with breast cancer have said – by people who do not have – which is a "Good" to get cancer) and 2) easily curable. I've even heard that it is a 'hot' or 'sexy' Cancer – My sexy prosthetics and scars, with one breast body are evidence that no such thing. In all the trivialities of pink, it's easy for people to lose sight of the fact that breast cancer is a devastating disease with disfiguring surgery, debilitating treatments and so far has no cure. I do not wear a pink ribbon and as someone remission of breast cancer, support the Think Before You Pink and Pink Stinks! campaigns, both started by women with breast cancer http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/?page_id=13 but it bothers me a little when people complain about receiving care for breast cancer compared with other types of cancer. The solution is not less attention for breast cancer, but more attention to other types of cancer – and there is nothing to stop any group of people starting a campaign along the lines ny of the women began to began the whole consciousness of breast cancer. They have to be so dedicated and prepared to work so hard though.
