We're just not sexy

I couldn't agree more
I even wrote an email to the Activia folks about their ads for donating to breast cancer when you buy their product.

I told them that while a cure for breast cancer was a good thing, that I thought since their product was about good digestive health they might have wanted to consider donating to colorectal cancer research!

Guess maybe we need to put a bow on a butt to make it sexy!

Good topic...glad you started this thread.

Hugs,

Marie who loves kitties

Not sexy enough
When I was first dx'd my youngest son noticed all the fund raising and attention paid to breast cancer. He said the same thing, boobs are sexy colons are not.
My kids have managed to do a few small things. My daughter works in a gourmet choffee shop and the owner does a fund raiser for different organizations each month. Of course this month it's breast cancer. He asked for other suggestions and my daughter told him my mom has colon cancer and I would like to raise money for that. He totally agreed so they are putting together everything to make that happen. Likewise my sons employer does the same type of thing and he to suggested doing a fund raiser during colon cancer awareness month like they do for breast cancer each october and they agreed. It's not much but it is a start and I am proud of my kids for being able to be open about what I'm going through and trying to do what they can. Much love.

Dearest diz
what you say is absolutely true. It is as if the world cannot bring themselves to say or thinkpoop colon or rectal. Oprah had a great opportunity this week when she interviewed Ryan O'Neil and he was weeping about his love Farrah.....but was there one mention of the dreaded words?? NO I am not criticizing Ryan but I also get the feeling when breast is involved there is a deluge of pink....you can buy any number of pink products to support the breast campaign. My onc even said once she feels badly for her colons....they get no support.

So dizz.....I have no answer but what you say is very true...we definitely are lacking sex appeal mags

Whattttttttttttt !!!
Whats not sexy about a nice lookin butt ? Rectal cancer and colon cancer are direct descendants aren't they.....Nice butt with slacks pulled down about 1/3rd down on hips, and a sign that reads "Rectal and Colon Cancers are Pains in the Butt "....written on the tush in bright red lipstick........I'd donate to it...

damn she has a hot looking colon
Yep, you have never heard anyone say, damn she has a hot looking colon.

It comes down to when we were born we went looking for boobs and never stopped. We are prewired and programmed to love boobs.

dizz I really think you are onto something....yup gotta be a thong.

the colon club has done the calendar of fronts....my daughter always teases me that my abdomen is enough to terrify small children. Actually I kind of get a kick out of the look on young residents' faces when they first encounter the 64 year old, bit tubby belly with appendix, ceasarean,colon, liver resection liver resection again and a few biopsies on the boobs...oh dear lol
