Survivor Has Brutally Honest Take On Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October, as we all know, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One survivor says it's become little more than a month long social event of little consequence. 36 year old Jenn Alter says pink ribbons, No Bra Day, and slogans like "Save the Boobies" are of little real benefit. Alter posted some very graphic photos of her 2013 breast cancer ordeal on Tumblr. She also made some brutally frank comments. Click here to see her post. Be forewarned, the images, and language are graphic.
