Millions of people, me included, are already living with it - day in, day out.Cancer isn't always pink and fluffy - despite wearing a pink hospital gown, this week my cancer has been grey, dark and blueIt's challenging, even inspiring at times - teaching you things about yourself you never thought possible.it's this - cancer looks different for each and every patient.This disease takes each unlucky and unwilling rider on a rollercoaster ride of ups and many more downs.
Firstly, it irritated me that they had to launch a breast cancer campaign during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month - not that these awareness months are scared. For too long, we as a society have shied away from things that are a bit grim, poo, our bowels, the nasty things going on in there. Using tag lines like "Bosom buddies" and "two is stronger than one" in a marketing campaign for a disease that leaves many patients without one or both boobs seemed crass to me.
And while I don't want to detract from what was, no doubt, a very well meaning campaign to raise vital funds for a great charity, it's important to say another "pink and fluffy" ad campaign isn't really good enough by today's marketing standards.
