In the article I read for TU Tuesday, is about a women by the name of Bethany Parks. Bethany is a survivor of Breast Cancer and talks about "pink ribbon month." Bethany goes on to explain how she doesn't like how emphasized this particular cancer is. Saying "I don’t love the commercialism, the ads, the hype, the play on people’s sympathy, the daily reminder about breast cancer – as if the scars aren’t enough" meaning this month is very dear to her heart but the constant reminder that she had cancer is painful. As much as she doesn't like October she enjoys how everyone comes together and cherish their moments with eachother saying "I love the girlfriends being together, the families honoring loved ones who are no longer around." Bethany also says she loves the spirit that everyone brings. Bethany is two years cancer free and loves living her life to the fullest.
