“I like it on” Facebook has virally infected more people than the common cold, but has it actually discolored the “go pink” celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month? For those who have yet to be hit by the status update, it’s a movement by females to announce their purse location without revealing the word itself. Even if the general public has abused the real meaning of the cause, here are some celebrities who give a brighter light to the dark matter.
Community star, Ken Jeong made a debut on The Ellen Show this week, and he admitted that he couldn’t have made an appearance at a better time than during Breast Cancer Awareness month. He discussed how his wife discovered a lump, while breastfeeding one of their twins. Check out his emotional conversation here:
According to the National Cancer Institute, there have been 207,090 new cases for 2010. As Jeong said, even if you have the slightest of questions regarding breast cancer, don’t be afraid to ask your doctor!

My very dear friend, a fellow Asian-American woman (52 year old), has bravely “beat” breast cancer for the last 12-13 years. When she was first diagnosed, she was going through a very painful divorce while working full-time. Currently she remains a single mother with 2 children (14 and 18) who has NEVER complained about her plight. Sadly, as of two weeks ago, she was placed under hospice care and paralyzed due to a new tumor on her spinal cord. Sitll she NEVER complains and is the most selfish person I have ever met. So, in any event, I am writing to you to help me help her. She is close to finalizing a booklet about breast cancer survival and one of her last wishes is to get this book published in whatever time left she has. I’m sure that you receive many requests for help but whatever you can do would be greatly appreciated. Please help me her help. Thank you for your consideration. Suzanne Yamamoto.
