With Halloween coming up in a few days, perhaps a topic worth a look.
The link below offers some ideas for Halloween costumes based on some aspect of cancer: having it, beating it, just bringing it to people's attention, etc.
Some are imaginative, some colorful, some puzzling, but they show an effort to celebrate Halloween in a cancer-related way.
As one might expect, breast cancer related costumes are more noticeably present (use of pink ribbons, etc.) than others, and I didn't see any prostate-themed costumes either (such as walking walnuts, maybe?). But on the whole it looks like most of the costumes shown below had a fun element to them, in keeping with the festival nature, even goofiness, of this particular holiday.
OTOH, it's understandable if some feel that a lot of (most? all?) cancer-themed Halloween costumes are simply in bad taste, even if they're supposed to be well-intentioned, and that such costumes are best avoided.
There is very likely a line that shouldn't be crossed regarding cancer-themed Halloween costumes. If one senses disrespect for patients when viewing them, for example, then that line has been crossed. But there are also some people, including cancer patients themselves, who see dressing up like that as a chance to face their situation with a sense of humor, and as an opportunity to have a kind of fun with it, and not be always depressed by it.
Feel free to post an opinion, pro, con, or neutral, on just how you feel about
cancer-themed Halloween costumes.
And granted that not all of us, and maybe not even all that many of us, would be interested in getting into some kind of cancer-messaging Halloween party costume, but maybe it's at least interesting to see the kinds of creative ideas that others have come up with for just such an occasion:
