Using social media for breast cancer advocacy
I'm advocating for men with breast cancer, but much of the information in this article is useful for those here looking to spread their messages beyond the pages here: https://hcsmmonitor.com/2018...

Along with the word "sufferer" I would like the media to discontinue using
"..............cancer victim" ( insert type of cancer)
"Battling................cancer" (insert type of cancer)
These words tend to conjure up images of "poor me".
Although "undergoing treatment" is perhaps not seen in as a melodramatic light and therefore the dollars do not come rolling in for whatever charity the media is supporting.

Please continue to advocate men's health. Whatever method works in getting out the message. If it raises awareness for one person is worth the effort.
