Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer As you might guess, I wear a pink ribbon - in one form or another - every day. During October, I add a pink bracelet or some earrings. My sister even gave me a set of pink ribbon sockettes, so I could go pink from head to toe! So I was surprised when someone important to the Cause didn't pin on her pink this year! Mrs. Obama, Where Was Your Pink Ribbon? Dear Mrs. O - Pardon me, but where was your pink ribbon this year? I really was hoping you would at least dig out last year's pink and wear it again. Did you just get a case of Pink Fatigue this year? I really need to know. Reader, tell me what you think about this.
