My sister was not black, but her breast cancer was deadly. If you have a loved one die from the disease, it doesn’t make sense to hear that it is more deadly for “other” people. Dead is dead.
I agree. I lost two aunts to the illness.
But sometimes color differences are a reality, and I don’t think it trivializes the impact of cancer to point them out.
And, for the record, my husband died of cancer. Granted. It wasn’t breast cancer. (Actually, it was from complications resulting from chemo.) But, as you point out: dead is dead. (And he wasn’t black.)
Beats me why the study was done — seems like a better use for the money would be in finding better treatments.
