While its nice that they make such a big deal about breast cancer…they need to focus on the #1 killer of Women…Lung Cancer. They don’t focus on that cause it opens the door to smoking and pressuring people to stop…so we focus on Breast Cancer…its not the #1 killer….Lung Cancer kills more women than any other illness or cancer (look at Dana Reeves)!

There were 65, 000 people at this year’s Denver Race for the Cure (no word on how many did the sleep in/ work out for the cure options) and everybody (collectively) raised over $2.4 million dollars for the cause. At the race, they were saying that ONE IN SEVEN women will be diagnosed with breast cancer…. They gave out keychains that denoted the average size of a lump found different ways…. the “accidental” one was the size of a half dollar. Ladies, please get checked! Most insurances have breast exams covered under preventative care!

I’m glad for breast cancer awareness, as my aunt was lost for it and I urge everyone to get a screening in order to prevent breast cancer or any other that may help save your life. Thank you Laura, from women all around..:)

This is great for awareness!!!

Question: Should the White House promote other efforts or holidays with different color schemes, as is done on the Empire State Building in NYC (which has already done pink lights for Breast Cancer)?

Its great to know that the White House is supporting this cause. But, as a cancer patient (not breast cancer) Id like to see them support other types as well. As a 27 year old mother of 2 with no health insurance for myself, I was diagnosed a month ago with Lymphoma. Ive already undergone 2 chemo treatments and have several more to go. It would be nice to know that the people I pay taxes (out the butt) to, could at least let me know they are supporting the fight.

BTW; the color for cancer in general is lavender

This is such a great cause! I am happy the white house did this. I know a few people going through pretty rough cancer treatments( none of which are breast cancer) and they more awareness we can raise for this cause is awesome!

Trent, thank you so much for helping to raise awareness about the fight against breast cancer. I’ll be walking in support of it this Saturday and in memory of my great aunt Berta who lost her fight about breast cancer in 2000. I myself had my own life in limbo as I waited for months about whether or not I had breast cancer or not. I didn’t. Thank you for all that you do for breast cancer. :)
