Pink

Ok, last post before I go to bed. Here's the question: Now that I have breast cancer, am I suddenly required to be an active advocate for breast cancer awareness/cure? I have to admit, taking up the pink ribbon banner makes me feel slightly hypocritical. While, I of course support finding a cure for breast cancer, being an advocate is just not something I've ever seen in my future. I'm not a big fan of putting myself out there in that way.

I've decided to do things this way: Right now I'm focused on my treatment and getting the best possible care to not only get rid of the cancer, but trying to make sure it doesn't come back. After that, when I've reached "survivor" status, I will have the time and energy to consider advocacy. In the meantime, I wouldn't be opposed to a pink t-shirt :)
