Breast friends are vital when you’re diagnosed with breast cancer

Whether the campaign does it for you or not, it's a big fundraiser.  Different strokes for different folks as @melclarity has said.  And I congratulate the women who have been brave enough to put their bodies and scars on display to show what they, and we, live with.  Of course, we are all different and so are the physical scars we bear from this and your body may not match up with the one on the poster.  These women volunteered for this gig and it's very personal challenges, so it's not as if there was a huge pool of cultural and scar diversity to draw on.  Personally, I dislike the pink wash over everything but I accept that at the moment, it's wedged firmly in the public psyche and opens the purse strings.  I also wonder about pushing the sugar aspect (as I reach for another sweet treat to get me through the day).  But I'm not going to say no to the money that enables this organisation, and this forum that has saved my sanity, to run.  And I'm not going to say no to the images that, hopefully, will enable more acceptance of what we have been through, and what we are under the clothing and prosthetics.  Bees and honey, guys.
