Welcome to October! When everything from yogurt lids to football cleats screams “We support breast cancer!” Although “pinkwashing” products raises awareness of breast cancer, it rarely results in direct support for breast cancer patients.
Fascinating context, I’ve only been around since the mid 70’s so good to learn this… so much progress with women’s health and breast cancer, despite the bodily autonomy Supreme Court setback recently.
The only organs we prophylactically remove are those of the female reproductive tract despite mountains of evidence that even in high risk women the effect on mortality is slight. Sigh. So much work to be done but I wish we didn’t have to fight for it.
