Are pink ribbons appropriate?

[Cwalker935]

Are pink ribbons appropriate for other forms of cancer? An old friend's daughter is about to start 51 weeks of chemotherapy and I would like to make her a nice pen. A pink ribbon pen comes to mind but she does not have breast cancer. Any thoughts?

As an aside, she had beautiful hair and had it all cutoff so that she could donate it before starting the chemo. A thoughtful and courageous gesture I would say.

Ribbons of all colors have different meanings. They are NOT universally recognized, you will find charts differ one from the next. So, if your friend has a certain form of cancer, best to google "ribbon color for ______cancer". You will get several sites, if they all agree on the color, you are good to go.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is a yellow ribbon. So now, I need to find a yellow ribbon clip or figure out to incorporate a yellow ribbon into a blank.

Further to my comment above, it does indeed seem that Wood-N-Whimsies can supply an inlay blank for the Sierra-style pen in an appropriate color:

Any pen sends the welcome message that you are thinking about them.
I sent a friend a ball cap embroidered with "No hair day".
