Colors Galore
I have been asked if the color peach applies to all gynecologic cancers since pink applies to the 'other' private part of a woman- the breasts. Nope.
The color peach represents endometrial/ uterine cancers
Teal: ovarian cancer
Teal/white: cervical cancer
Purple: vagina/ vulvar cancers
Lavender: all kinds of cancer
I proudly wear a bracelet daily... lavender or peach. It represents a part of who I am... a cancer survivor. I have a peach ribbon on my backpack. A few people have asked me about the ribbon. One person said she is so used to seeing pink all the time. It was good to spread awareness that way.
