Breast Cancer’s Pink Ribbons: Are We Overselling Awareness?

Younger and younger women are cautioned to be “aware,” while the median age of breast cancer patients is 61 years old and over 50% of those diagnosed are older than 62. It’s more common to see pink promotions displaying perky, uplifted cleavage, rather than photos of mature, at-risk bosoms. Breast cancer may be deadlier in younger populations but it is still less common. Today’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month appears focused on saving an image of girlish breasts, not an aging woman’s life.’
