My sister survived breast cancer, only later to be struck by mylodysplastic syndrome which resulted from the chemotherapy (same series of events as Robin Roberts.) She had a bone marrow transplant, but died about a year later. She proudly wore her pink, volunteered with the American Cancer Society, celebrated her survival with her friends and family, wore her pink hat as it was a symbol of her strength and hope and hopefully awareness for others. Pink was not about trivializing cancer. To even say that shows a lack of real personal experience with the disease. These women are fighters and so many more are coming through this disease alive because such awareness is helping the disease be caught in its early stages more frequently. BOTH of my sisters had breast cancer at the same time. One survived and has passed the crucial 5 year cancer free mark; one didn't survive. Both of them worked and work for contined awareness and education about breast cancer.
