Comments on: Breast Cancer Awareness Month: A Tale of Three Octobers http://jaynesbreastcancerblog.com/2007/10/breast-cancer-awareness-month-a-tale-of-three-octobers/ Exploring the Intersection of Cancer and Creativity Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:33:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: KT http://jaynesbreastcancerblog.com/2007/10/breast-cancer-awareness-month-a-tale-of-three-octobers/comment-page-1/#comment-190 KT Sun, 14 Oct 2007 03:06:00 +0000 http://biglife-smallcanvas.com/jaynesbcblog/?p=134#comment-190 Our (college-age) babysitter showed up today wearing a big pink ribbon. I thought that was great. She said her housemates even bought a pink microwave (yes, a breast cancer special at I think Bed Bath & Beyond)!! <br/><br/>I do like the increased awareness October brings, but I'm not sure that I like how everywhere you turn there is somebody using the pink ribbon in their marketing. I keep meaning to look up what percentage actually gets donated to breast cancer research but don't know where to start. Anyway, thanks for your post. I enjoyed it.

But I'm not anti-pink, either. Just picky. Thanks for your nice comments about the blog, Jill.

Just lost this comment, so retyping. Good grief...<br/><br/>Short story: Love your blog! Love your voice! Love your wit, intelligence and compassion. <br/><br/>Long story: I've been down the exact same road you have, with the exception of the oophorectomy. I couldn't write about it until just recently. When I decided I was ready, I googled "breast cancer blog" to see what other people were writing about and found your blog. Lovely! Thank you!<br/><br/>PS: Like you, I am a 3.5 in my reaction to the pink tsunami of October NBCAM...Happy that there is so much awareness; dismayed by the fact that many companies market "pink", but in reality give little to breast cancer awareness and research organizations.
