Many women in Malawi are too afraid to get tested because they think their husbands will leave them if they are diagnosed (and they are probably right). Even if they wanted to get tested, they wouldn't be able to. None of the hospitals have the proper equipment. But what Malawi does have is Facebook. This message was heard all over the world, and there are still many who need to hear. Americans are aware of the danger of breast cancer, but women in many other countries are not.

How can you NOT be aware of it? I think it's pretty amusing that someone has to hear about a "game" online, or read something about this said "game" to be aware of breast cancer.

REALLY? Why be so ignorant over something that was supposed to be fun and help other remember to mark their calendars for their annual exam! I marked mine... I fortunately havent lost anyone in my family to cancer, of any sort, but I do have MANY friends who have had to go through the hardship and even lost a couple. Why would you think this was a bad idea, when many MEN and women have thought about themselves AND REMINDED others to get checked out. Many people face cancer, many pass, but why be so negative about those who have or are going through cancer that want to have a lil fun with sharing the color of their bra or boxers. My thoughts are if you couldnt beat it... have fun while you can, you dont have to be an ass to everyone bc your unhappy with the way your life has gone. And I believe that most of the "color status'" that viraled around were from those who are getting a kick out of this 'game' on facebook and smile to know that someone they haven't EVER met... is thinking of them, in THEIR time of need. Scooter (scott) ... you and others dont understand how this could be 'awareness or a form of charity' when money wasnt involved... so why do we Pay to run in the Race of the Cure... Why run? Waste your energy for something you dont get out of it in the end other then being sweaty, stinky, sore and tired? Why not just give them your money and leave, since you are all about the money side of things, and call it a day! ...........These people get out there to run, bc they care.. and they could be running beside someone who has fought and WON the battle of this nasty disease. So for us who put a color on our status, we did it to support those to whom we are friends with that are battling or have conquered the disease we call CANCER.. money isn't everything... sometimes just being there for someone, can be a great remedy! So those who are negative... GET OVER YOUR SELF! and for those who care.... Pink ;) To all of you who are negative on this topic. REALLY?

I can't put my finger on just why but the whole thing just rubbed me the wrong way. I think it might be the fact that we are already 'aware' of breast cancer. You can't walk down any aisle in any store without seeing something pink. There are cancers out there that need the attention and awareness that breast cancer gets. How about a pancreatic cancer awareness...or thyroid cancer? Something that affects a less glamorous body part maybe? And I hate secrets. I hate having them kept from me and I hate keeping them. This whole 'don't tell anyone' just goes against my nature or something. I'm a breast cancer survivor and I didn't like it.
