Breast Cancer Awareness

A woman is diagnosed with Breast Cancer every three minutes in the United States, with over 200,000 diagnosed this year alone. Every twelve minutes a woman will die from Breast Cancer. 44,000 women with Breast Cancer die each year in the United States, more casualties than the Vietnam War! One in eight women in the United States will develop Breast Cancer in her lifetime and that could be your mother, daughter, aunt, niece, wife, grandmother, friend, or you. Breast Cancer is the leading cause of deaths for African American women. Women of low socioeconomic status are more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage Breast Cancer and die of the disease. Every woman is at risk for Breast Cancer and it is the most common form of cancer in women. Breast Cancer is also present in men, and by the time a man is diagnosed the disease is typically more advanced. There are more than 1.6 million Breast Cancer survivors the in the U.S. today. These numbers emphasize the enormity of this disease and that Breast Cancer touches everyone!
