I am upset with this whole "Breast Cancer Awareness" campaign and I will tell you why....last month was one?
year that I was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer...the doctors were able with the help of chemo and 28 grueling radiation treatments to get rid of the tumor in my cervix but not before it spread to my lungs...So here's my problem...Breast cancer is one of the easiest cancers in a woman to detect early and treat...where as Ovarian cancer cannot be detected until the woman is showing symptoms that something is wrong.....and my odds of survival...according to my doctor is very slim....why can't it be Women's Cancer Awareness instead of Breast Cancer awareness...?
BTW:: I had a clean pap in June...was diagnoised in October with stage 4...new by Aug. something was not right.
that should read knew not new
GOOD POINT ALPHA MALE......♥
or what about just '' cancer awareness '' ? get rid of it in both genders and be done with the damn thing.
edit: thanks Luck, it is pass time we rid the effing world of that scourge.

Treatments $24 Creative expression inspired by disease has been criticized as a celebration of victimhood, unmediated personal experience, or just simply bad art. Despite debate, however, memoirs written about illness--particularly AIDS or cancer--have proliferated since the late twentieth century and occupy a highly influential place on the cultural landscape today. In Treatments, Lisa Diedrich considers illness narratives, demonstrating that these texts not only recount and interpret symptoms but also describe illness as an event that reflects wider cultural contexts, including race, gender, class, and sexuality. Diedrich begins this theoretically rigorous analysis by offering examples of midcentury memoirs of tuberculosis. She then looks at Susan Sontag's Illness As Metaphor, Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's White Glasses, showing how these breast cancer survivors draw on feminist health practices of the 1970s and also anticipate the figure that would appear in the wake of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s--the politicized patient. She further reveals how narratives written by doctors Abraham Verghese and Rafael Campo about treating people with AIDS can disrupt the doctor-patient hierarchy, and she explores practices of witnessing that emerge in writing by Paul Monette and John Bayley. Through these records of intensely personal yet universal experience, Diedrich demonstrates how language both captures and fails to capture these scenes of loss and how illness narratives affect the literary, medical, and cultural contexts from which they arise. Finally, by examining the ways in which the sick speak and are spoken for, she argues for an ethicsof failure--the revaluation of loss as creating new possibilities for how we live and die. Lisa Diedrich is assistant professor of women's studies at Stony Brook University. |
