I'm a 1-1/2 year survivor and I agree - those pink ribbons bring tears to my eyes - maybe because they represent so many people who have endured this disease. It's not fun! My 4 yr old granddaughter calls it the magic pink ribbon. I think it represents hope and faith, etc. But I can also see where your sister is coming from - I was very hesitant to "advertise" the disease and my husband convinced me that the more you talk about it, the better chance someone else will be pushed to have their checkup that they have been putting off.
