and all of our loved ones we have lost to breast cancer, let's all change our avatars to the pink ribbon for the month of October. It's a little something we can all do.

18. Not only in honor of Stacey, but also for my step-daughter's best friend, 24 years old |
|
Just diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes, lungs, etc. She is so young and has no insurance, so she didn't think she should see a doctor when she was having pains in her lungs.
:cry:

my mother lost her best friend of 30+ years back in 1988. Margaret was my godmother. I knew her my whole life. She was a beautiful lady but just never knew how to be happy. She succumbed to breast cancer at the age of 43. It was so sad.
RIP.............

And for my mother, a breast cancer survivor.

and to honor all the loved ones of people here who have either succumbed or have been impacted by breast cancer, I have changed my avatar. This is also to recognize those on DU who have survived breast cancer. And it is also to honor my "aunty" who tragically succumbed to the disease fifteen years ago, whose kindless, love, humility, compassion and selflessness will stay with me always

I think the person on my previous avatar-Elizabeth Edwards-would approve.
I also change it in memory of Kathy and Ann, who both left us far too soon.

63. I will make a donation in her name instead. I HATE the pink ribbon. |
|
In fact, I hate everything that's "breast cancer pink." It dresses up an ugly disease and makes it look pretty and dainty and feminine. It's not. It's an ugly, ugly disease.
I'll do what I can to fight it, but pink ribbons will not be part of what I use.
