Yesterday we did a post about some of the myths about breast cancer but let me state unequivocally that myths are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact and in the case of cancer and especially breast cancer, the practice of being a devout hypochondriac is a good thing. Here’s someone who believes that breast cancer is being exploited.

We say exploit it as much as possible. Even if only 30% of the money that is raised for breast cancer actually is spent on research, that means that we are at the very least moving toward progress. In the case of commercializing cancer, I really don’t have a problem with it. That is of course, if some of that money goes to research. As we said yesterday, 40,000 women die each year from breast cancer. That’s 40,000 too many. Those pink riboons raise millions of dollars each year and bring awareness to breast cancer. I have no problem with those ribbons, in fact, everyone should have one. More myths on breast cancer.
