If you really want to realize how breathtakingly stupid the emphasis on breast cancer is, think about how old women typically are by the time they get it. It's typically well past the age where they'd be breastfeeding...which means they can just get a masectomy and cosmetic implants and call it a day. Sure, there'll be scars, but if you told someone with any other form of cancer they could cure their cancer with scars only their spouse will ever see...they'd be ecstatic.
