    I think it's a powerful statement.  We might not like it, but it's a reality that close to 30% diagnosed with bc will die from the disease. It's not comfortable, which is one reason why it's not discussed. More needs to be done to raise knowedge of this truth, in order to increase research into it. Thanks for your work, @traveltext.
    And no, I don't have mbc

    Could you please tell me @traveltext which mets cancer groups claim black? Certainly not breast cancer.

    Valid point @Joannie Am thinking breast cancer is seen by the community as less “terminal” these days - please read around my words whereas the black countersthat point dramatically

    here's a new version produced by a BCO member. Much better IMO.

    I think I prefer the pink & blue one that @Romla  has put up - pink for girls, blue for boys ... and it is pleasing to the eye!  

    There may be less men diagnosed - but I bet there are a lot who've got it & just don't know - or died with it but not detected as they would be looking more for prostate & heart issues than breast as a cause of death!

    IMO ... I think the Pink/Black one is a tad confronting - and not as pleasing to the eye.

    But that's ok .... we're allowed to have different opinions!   ;)

    Thanks arpie, there are copyright issues with some of these bc graphics. I haven’t found one that brings these three elements together.

    I've read this thread with interest, and am loving the respectful nature of the discussion!

    As someone who has been deeply impacted by a breast cancer death as well as my own diagnosis, I really like the design @traveltext is working on. I think that there is little understanding in the broader community of the numbers that this disease kills, how long you can actually live with it, and how little money is dedicated to metastatic research.

    The black has impact, and when it comes to raising awareness I think that's a good thing.
