Just refreshing muself about the original post and the subsequent responses on this question. Have just received my Beacon and Inside Story at home and of course the Beacon is upfront and large and the Inside Story is small and something I get the feeling others really don't want to see.
I was actually somewhat angry that the covering note is asking for donations with all the pink bells and whistles attached whilst we get very little attention paid to those of use with advanced breast cancer.
Understand that this can all be very scary and that for those diagosed with early beast cancer I suppose it is even more scary and could be disheartening. Unfortunately it is a fact of life and there is a large percentage with ABC who were once EBC - it has come back. Therefore EBC people should be aware that a CURE is really the answer so that it does not come back to bit you.
The original idea of lobbying politicians was a good one but I know from experience from other issues how much energy this can take and if you are like me that energy is better spent on our families and ourselves. However the letters should continue to go in. You must remember that politicians change on a somewhat regular basis and the minister ond day is not the minister necessarily the next. Unfortunately a lot of the information and cuases etc do not get passed on properly or fully as staff also change.
Thanks all for listening as needed an outlet to let off steam.
Love to you all
