'Mandamoo' R.I.P

Amanda voiced her opinion that the current image of breast cancer and the language used to communicate about it excludes those with advanced disease. Not only that but it made her feel she had failed in some way because she had not been able to 'beat' cancer or 'win the fight'. The article acknowledges that this is a valid criticism and that the current image needs an overhaul. Surely if the aim is to support those who are diagnosed with breast cancer then those with advanced disease should be the priority not shunned because we do not want to be confronted with the reality that this disease is still incurable at Stage 4.
