On reading this article it all rang so true. I remember saying to my husband when someone told him I was strong and would fight this "How do you fight something you cannot see and have no control over" . I purchased for the girls in my family the pink lady support pin, because they had shown me so much support and they wear it with pride. I ordered for myself the survivors pin - but on reading the inscription on the card I cannot bring myself to wear it. Am I a survivor? Not until I get to 80years old and cancer free, at the moment I feel like a ticking time bomb, cancer has been treated., get on with your life until you have your next check up in 6 months. This pin should be in recognition that I have had breast cancer treatment., then I will feel that instant bond when I see another lady wearing it.
