We're bigger than pink: Contextualizing breast cancer awareness
By Rebecca Stealey
Come October in Chicago, the spires of the Sears Tower glow pink against the night skyline. NFL players sport shocking pink chin straps and shoe covers. And since 1991, the color pink in a multitude of forms has been used to signify awareness that an estimated 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in 2011.

First, I learned what "normal" was. Then, I learned all the ways normal could go wrong. I was given the task of recognizing, diagnosing, and treating symptoms and diseases.
