I’ve noticed that many blogs are “going pink”* to raise awareness about breast cancer. This is very admirable. Especially for those male bloggers who are supporting their female compatriots (as well as highlighting the fact that men can also get breast cancer)

Next year, I hope that they go blue (or whatever colour it might be) for Male Cancer Awareness Month which was in June this year. After all, while breast cancer can claim the lives of ~12500 women in the UK on an annual basis, testicular and prostate cancer is still sending 10000+ British men to the gates of Hades every year too.

What’s more, rather than giving men anything that might be equivalent to the NHS Breast Screening Programme, the government has decided that men only need a handout about prostate cancer risk management.

*Tabula Rasa doesn’t do Pink. Ever. But, perhaps when I can be arsed to to sort out the CSS and new layout fully soon, there might be a token pink element.
