I also hate the we are amazing women blah blah post to another amazing woman -w hy are we amazing because we give birth - so what its been going on forever get a grip.

I believe there does often need to be more awareness for 'women's' illnesses as much of the funding for research goes to 'men's' illnesses because men dominate the financial and medical arenas. My issues are that the men shouldn't be excluded in a breast cancer awareness campaign and that the campaign should have some value to it and be appropriate to the subject.Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-74435434139630889892012-06-14T14:42:33.825+03:002012-06-14T14:42:33.825+03:00It is rarer than breast cancer in ladies (we'r...It is rarer than breast cancer in ladies (we're talking less than 500 cases a year in the UK) but it is possible for guys to get breast cancer - as random as it sounds. Essentially some of the tissues around the chest area is the same it's just the hormones that makes it grow for girls and not for boys. <br /><br />But you're right - guys do get cancer so why isn't there the same amount of awareness for it?HanPlanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952154139400431439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-64993289431984836272012-06-14T13:11:10.537+03:002012-06-14T13:11:10.537+03:00I think it's a meme that's had its day to ...I think it's a meme that's had its day to be honest. Once upon a time it was innovative and intesting but I don't think it serves any purpose at all now. Wouldn't it be a better idea to popularise how to detect early signs of cancer?vegemitevixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499944412217904302noreply@blogger.com
