If I see one more article about another BS claim about what this or that or not this or that has caused breast cancer I may seriously lose my mind. Can we stop blaming breast cancer patients for their illness? Please do not make someone feel guilty that they have or have not done something wrong…
Many readers know how I feel about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and why I don’t support pink ribbon wrapped causes. And I’m not alone in my criticism of “breast cancer industry month.” This week I’m sharing some of the best articles on the subject.
