Please consider these facts:
- Every three minutes an Egyptian women is informed that she has the illness, and one and the most fears is that her husband will leave her soon.
- In India, women with breast cancer may be forced to use separate plates and spoons because of the widespread belief that the disease is contagious .
- ETC
Secrecy leads not only to misery but also to misinformation. Thus, increasing the number of cases which are not reported and small the opportunity to get earlier treatment. I am not going to detailed this issues further. You may get a copy of Time by your own. Perhaps, this little message can remind everybody the important of prevention because there is no heal for breast cancer.

What is World's of Pink Ribbons Program?
The pink ribbon means something different for everyone. For one it might be a memory of one lost to breast cancer. For another it might be a symbol of what the future could bring. For yet another, it could mean survival. No matter what it represents to each individual, it brings hope to the thousands of people who are affected by breast cancer every year.
