The Story of Me!

Breat cancer awarness. How aware are we of this deadly disease? Do we actually spend enough time doing anything about it?

When you work in the breast clinic for sometime, you realize that the number of patients with breast cancer is gradually increasing. It's a major problem in the west, and it's slowly creeping into our lives too. Too bad we're not putting too much effort into educating women about the best methods for early detection, or not spending enough money into supporting research that goes around this topic.

The Royal Hospital is doing something amazing. They are selling pins in the shape of the breast cancer logo. It's slowly gaining it's popularity among the females in the hospital. You know, one would wear it, 1o would ask her where she got it from, and then they'd be asked and so forth. It's a good start. Sad thing is, A LOT of people asked me what this was. I thought more people were aware of the breast cancer logo or at least had some idea about it, then again, by them asking, you get to tell them what it's all about, and you spread the message.

Another sad issue, is how little people trust the docs when it comes to this. Once they find out they've got breast cancer, they prefer to go abroad and get the EXACT same treatment that they would've gotten here. Why the lack of trust? Why not show some faith into these people who have been working so hard to learn how to treat and to save you from going abroad? It just irritates me so much, because I've seen how dedicated these people are to their work, and how much they care about giving their patients the best option of treatment, yet you don't get much in return!

Anyway, got this forward email from a friend, I thought I'd share it here, and I hope you click on the link to support the idea that it holds,

A Favour to Ask..... It only takes a minute..... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on> "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
