I have breast cancer but it’s weird because I don’t feel like the whole pink ribbon movement is about me. I don’t think I’m in denial or maybe it’s just too new. Any other warriors out there feel like that? 💗 #breastcancer

Dude I didn’t even ring the bell. I just wanted the hell out of there. Nowadays, I have to post with stuff like this using the voice to text because of the residual CIPN. I hate that my fingers don’t work with touchpads very well anymore. I’m no warrior. I’m just doing it one day at a time.
IMO, the whole pink thing trivilizes breast cancer and I don't want any part of that. A pink ribbon does not minimize the life threatening fact of breast cancer & what that means to me.
I'm all for building awareness of breast cancer, but do those pink ribbons really do that? I think the pink washing of breast cancer is a distraction and just another marketing technique that generates money for someone but not necessarily for breast cancer research.
