As everyone knows Pink is the color for breast cancer...I knew that when i was like 5 thats a reason its my favorite color i love the color pink and i think its a great way to show BC so i was just wondering does anybody think BC should be shown with a different color like blue or green? The only reason i ask is because i wonder if pink really is the best color to show BC but does anbody know why Pink is the color? i think its because it represents girls and BC awarness... i know this is a little random but at my school we have a "pink" day were you can wear all pink , but to be honest i have one of those every week! Cause i want to show everyone pink isn't worn just because it's a girly color!

    don't know
    I don't know why, but I do know each type of cancer has a color associated with it...for example, cervical cancer is a sort-of aqua-green color. Maybe you could search it on the ACS website?

    Good question. seof
