If pink is not for girls, why do BCNA run with it so extensively. Look at the logo for goodness sake. It's still 1989 at BCNA.
This is a life and death issue for men because the pink charities have failed to educate the public that the disease is genderless. Research has shown that 70% of men don't think they can get breast cancer. When they present with lumps many, and I was one, are turned away. Our later diagnosis leads to a poorer prognosis. We're more likely to die of the disease than women are.
Not everyone cares about our dilemma, but I would expect a breast cancer charity to make more of an effort to resolve the issue.
