The Purpose Of Breast Cancer Survivor Jewelry

By Thomas Young


Each year, close to quarter a million women are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide. This is one of the most challenging conditions that anyone can deal with. The only great thing about the condition is that if it is diagnosed early enough, the disease is not as life-threatening as it becomes when it advances to later stages. This is why researchers are always coming up with ways of detecting the early stages of the disease and treating it in time. Awareness about breast cancer has also become a very important part of the fight. One of the ways that have picked up popularity is the creation of breast cancer survivor jewelry.

The campaign is designed with the aim of creating awareness about the condition and also encouraging women to go for the mammograms. It is paramount for each woman that is at or past the reproductive age to be checked. The purpose of creating the awareness is letting women learn about the early symptom, consequences, and the medical interventions that are available.

The condition has been there for a long time, but for a long time, women were not comfortable discussing any condition that relates to their reproduction. However, the ductal carcinoma awareness campaign has created courage and now women do not have to hide, but they speak of what they are going through and their survivor status and encouraging other people to seek treatment before it is too late.

There are, in fact, numerous breast cancer-related products that are being sold. The products are pink since this is the color that relates to ductal carcinoma. The jewels vary from hand band to head clips. These pink ribbons that have a slogan printed on them are one of the effective ways of sending the message.

However, there are other items that are slowly joining the campaign. These include shirts, candles and everyday utilities such as cups that have cancer-related themes pasted on them. The great thing about this jewelry is the fact that it serves the purpose of spreading the message about the seriousness of the disease while at the same time they allow the person to make a small donation to organizations that are fighting the disease.

Before one buys the product, it is paramount for them to ask the reason that they need to make the purchase. Think about the group that is making the product and whether they are spreading the message. Ensure that you buy products that do not make a difference.

The other thing that you need to think about when making the purchase is whether you will manage to send out the message in a morally satisfying manner. The social media and TV have led to the glamorization of the disease whereby people view it as a cool illness. However, the campaign route you take should never underscore the seriousness of the disease.

Discussed are some of the things that you need to know about when it comes to ductal carcinoma jewelry and creating awareness. Note that the purpose is not only to support the course but also make sure that you have created awareness. Do your research about the campaigns that are genuine before purchasing any product.
