While one can hardly be against breast cancer month and breast cancer research and pink, I am more than a little bitter about all the hoop-de-la associated with breast cancer.
I lost my wife to cancer more than three years ago; unfortunately it was not the right cancer. She died of upper intestinal cancer–something only about 200 people a year contract. As a result it is not the in cancer and zero dollars are spent in research on the cancer. There are no research funds devoted to it, no chemotherapy for it, no marches, no corporate support, no publicity, no rallies.
Obviously I miss her terribly, but I am also tired of all the attention only being paid to one cancer, which, by the way, is not a woman’s only cancer.
