Having fought a personal battle with breast cancer, I have mixed feelings about all this pink stuff every October. In fact, I have a blog series coming up this month on that very topic.

I hope I haven’t offended you. I think the pink is a great color code for the cause but so much of what is raised by the sale of it doesn’t go to research for a cure.

No you haven’t offended me at all! Awareness is a good thing. I just question the sincerity behind all of the pink ribbons. And when I see screening guidelines that suggest clinical breast exams and breast self exams are unnecessary, it really gets me going!
