Hello Mia/Campaigns Team/BCN, Thank you for the eventual written response. I know you had initial difficulty creating a single post. However, your response is now showing as a number of full as well as broken posts. I have counted 7 at the current time. Jokes about buses aside, just retaining the first full response would be advisable. Shi has also re-emphasised a very important point. A reminder to all you people at the main office not to overlook the use of the forum and it's members. It would seem that this was overlooked during your amalgamation and that some of you were not aware of it's public nature or how it operates. As I have stated previously, I do not have secondary breast cancer at the current time but I am very much aware of the future likelihood and it's implications. I have no issue with the 'hard hitting' nature of the campaign, including deaths from breast cancer. That is factual. As stated to you before, I have an issue with your Campaign name. "Unsurvivor" to me means dead. Use it to highlight the number of people who have died/that people die from breast cancer. But if your campaign is also for those living with secondary breast cancer, then for goodness sake change it. The fact that this title is ambiguous and needs to be explained and justified would indicate it is not fit for purpose in my opinion. The title "breast cancer survivor" that it plays upon, is itself ambiguous and used in a variety of ways. For example, if NED after treatment, a badge to wear after 5 years clear, or from the day of diagnosis until you die (which includes people with SBC!) or even (from your interpretation) one you lose when recurrence strikes. I wish the campaign itself well and that it respectfully fulfills it's aims. However, by choosing this name "Unsurvivors", you have ended up alienating the very people you are claiming to support. In my opinion, the collateral damage was unnecessary and unacceptable. Regards, Chick.
