Disappointed in The Beacon's name change
Hi All
It's been a long time since I posted. I've been thinking about this, and watching to see if anyone else commented on this. I don't know if somewhere along the way I've missed something. Was there discussion or consultaion about the name change to Pink Lady? I feel that it's diappointing, and disrespectful to our male members, after all, men do get breast cancer too, And as an organisation, I thought the aim was to be more inclusive, not less.
I'll be interested to hear your thoughts

- Thanks afraser for composing and posting the letter
- Yukk! Pink Lady is so not how I see myself or this network. I think I'd be ashamed to tell anyone I was on it! See the recent comments on the movie Convoy. Maybe that would be a better title. BTW for all the cocktail aficionados, don't get your Pink Lady mixed up with that classic outback special, the White Lady - Sunshine Milk powder and metho. (Sorry if you are feeling queasy).
- You can access it from the main page. I don't know whether it is also emailed (I have a vague recollection of saying yes to getting it as I was rushing out of Breastscreen to my GP)
- Hi, I’m newish to the BCAN, diagnosed in November 2017 - could someone advise how I get a copy of the Beacon/Pink Lady? I assume it’s a newsletter? Was I meant to have signed up for it? Thanks.
- Yes thanks very, very much Afraser
- Thanks @Afraser
- @traveltext and @Summerhill38 Exactly.
- Hi @traveltext
Agree. Unfortunately some members are rarely on-line for many reasons so hopefully ALL members will receive an email and it will include the reasons for the survey. - Zoffiel, it’s not about faith, I know BCNA will be ethical about the survey, it’s just that I’d like to see the question put clearly since we only get one go at this.
