Breast Cancer Awareness Month

[PJBinMI]

October is BC Awareness Month. October 13 is MBC awareness day. A good time to wear pink! I've acquired various pink accessories over the 19+ years since being diagnosed with denovo MBC. This month can be a good time to get pink "stuff" and wear it. I bought a pink beret a few weeks ago and plan to wear it every time I leave the house this month. I've also bought new shirts and jeans. LOL

Some of the BCAM written and spoken articles focus on early bc and can be very annoying. Writing letters to the editor can give us a chance to make our voices heard!

I hope all of us do well this month, whether we "go public" or not! (It seems weird to say/write/even think "Happy BCAM!")

Stage4 needs more. I get tired of them pink washing October and using it the whole month. The metastatic breast cancer ribbon is green, teal and pink. I do love the color pink and I'm born in the month of October but it's sad to see people still talking about breast cancer awareness. When everyone's aware. We need money for research for a cure!!

Indeed Partia, Stage4 Needs more! My birthday is this month too, hoping to turn 65😍

Mine is tomorrow and I am turning 64! Happy Birthday to you!

Absolutely! So many people haven't got a clue!

My birthday is the same day as Metastatic Breast Cancer awareness day. I have mixed emotions about that, thinking "damn, MBC took my birthday too." I still celebrate my birthday, but can also celebrate that I've been here 7 1/2 years since my diagnosis.
