The mortality for breast cancer is in fact higher, though. Still way more funding goes to breast cancer research than prostate cancer research. <br /><br />Not that either one is a whole lot of fun.TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-45750613634827589352009-04-17T19:04:00.000-04:002009-04-17T19:04:00.000-04:00I had surgery for uterine cancer the week before B...I had surgery for uterine cancer the week before Breast Cancer Awareness Week 2007. I never felt so ignored in all my life. Where's my frigging ribbon?! And they say that having cancer makes you "brave" -- I can tell you that it doesn't. How you react to the diagnosis is what makes you brave. I'm all for raising awareness, but it's taken on a cult-like momentum and I fear other, more serious diseases are getting lost in its wake.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952078709114872197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-76122122471328597792009-04-17T15:58:00.000-04:002009-04-17T15:58:00.000-04:00I DID have a say in when my dam went off.

It has a much worse prognosis than cancer in the female breast, as detection is much later, and the detection equipment is normed for use on women. The 5-year survival rate ranges from 30-85 percent, depending on when it was caught. There is a significant percentage of male breast cancer patients who carry the <I>BCRA1</I> and <I>BCRA2</I> genes; those families have strong histories of breast and ovarian cancer in the female line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5959375214551079262009-04-17T09:22:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:22:00.000-04:00Death is the way the Universe reminds us of our pl...Death is the way the Universe reminds us of our place in It.<br /><br />Do I wish my dad was still with us?
