I’m looking for a picture of a pink ribbon tied on a safety pin. Please help!?

I’m trying to rise awareness for breast cancer at my college and seeming October is Breast Cancer Awareness month I wanted to make pins, and I figured that ribbon tied on a safety pin would be a simple, but profound way to do it. I need a picture though to make sure my idea would be approved by the college before I go out and purchase the materials. Can anyone help me find a picture? Please post hyperlinks, if possible.

Am I at higher risk for cancer now? PLEASE HELP!?

My mom passed away not even four months ago from breast cancer. I just found out Saturday that my grandpa has less then a month to live because they just found cancer in his pancreas, liver, and spleen. I know that with breast cancer my mom’s oncologist brought up the BRCA2 gene and something like it was rare but my mom had it. Upon researching pancreatic cancer I’ve found that it too can be caused by this BRCA2 gene. My grandpa that has it is my mom’s dad. I’m only 24 I can’t deal with this crap. I just lost my mom less then four months ago. Should I be worried about this gene though? Am I more at risk? I tried asking my grandpa’s doctor but he said pancreatic cancer is not caused by that gene and that doctors don’t ever test for pancreatic cancer. But everything I’ve found online says that it can be caused by it.
