My wife, literally the-girl-next-door, lost her battle with breast cancer at 28.
There is so much empty symbolism for these causes that it cheapens and weakens the efforts to combat the diseases.
Kudos to you, Sioux-san for overcoming your challenge - God bless!
So sorry for your loss. It must be hard to see it be used for publicity in such a shallow way.
I refuse to buy any merchandise with a pink ribbon because the Susan G. Komen foundation donates part of what they receive to Planned Parenthood. There were many stories and the Susan G. Komen Foundation finally admitted they gave to PP. Even if they’ve stopped it’s so reprehensible that they will never receive a penny from me.
Funding infanticide does not equal cancer research.
I am so sorry about the loss of your wife, and only 28. Geez, it is insidious when cancer strikes such a young person. For me, the “cure” was way more terrifying than the disease. I am 68, and it’s been six years without a problem. God bless you, too.
