Pinktober Hits Comics

Oh Look!  It’s October, when marketing and corporations remind us that the ONLY cancer that matters is Breast Cancer.
.
For a whole fucking month.
.
I was a lot less angry about Komen and Pink Ribbons before I got Uterine Cancer.  Because it took getting some other Cancer for me to realize just how invisible anything but Breast Cancer really is.
.
Instead of giving into corporate marketing greed (which is what this really is), donate directly to the Cancer Society.  Or help out someone you know who has Cancer.
.
I can’t wait till October’s over.  Then we can go back to ignoring women’s Cancer issues completely like we do the rest of the fucking year.  You know.. unless you actually HAVE Cancer.  Then you can just get ignored.
