No, she's not the only woman to have breast cancer, but why should her fans direct their concern elsewhere? That doesn't make any sense to me. If you don't care, you don't care. But if people want to support her, that's their concern.
It's not that I don't care. It's that I don't care more than I would for any other breast cance sufferer. I know two people who have had breast cancer, (both parents of friends) and one of them didn't survive.

It's more of a dig at people's obsession with celebrity, than anything else.
