Quiz time!
If I said to you, 'think of single efforts to raise breast cancer awareness', you would not be blamed for thinking of a youngish woman, grinning at the camera as she squeezes her rack in front of a camera with the appropriate hashtags.
Has it ever occurred to you how 'sexy' breast cancer awareness can be portrayed? During the one day set aside for metastatic breast cancer, no bra day completely drowned out our efforts towards raising life saving awareness. If your anything like me, I had to see what the fuss was about and clicked through some of the BCAM awareness hashtags. I was absolutely stunned to find myself scrolling through countless images of women like the ones below, rows of men in the comments laying on emoji's with countless innuendos. I'm sure you can work out for your smart selves why this is an issue. I'd like to invite you to take a few seconds out of your life to take my quiz! |
A ' no holds' page about my life with incurable advanced Breast Cancer, in the hope it will give a realistic, detailed account to other young women going through the unfortunate illness.
