BREAST CANCER: "Stay Aware Year 'Round!"

BREAST CANCER: "Stay Aware Year 'Round!"
Yes, It is November 1st, which means Breast Cancer Awareness Month is officially over... However, that does not mean we forget about Our Boobies and a Fight for the Cure!
A new report from the American Cancer Society finds that death rates from breast cancer in the United States have dropped 34% since 1990. But the rate at which new breast cancers are diagnosed increased slightly among African American women from 2006 to 2010, bringing those rates closer to those of white women, who still have the highest diagnosis rates among women ages 40 and older.
The findings are published in Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2013-2014 and in Breast Cancer Statistics, 2013 in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, after skin cancer. It accounts for nearly 1 in 3 cancers diagnosed in women. By the end of 2013, an estimated 232,340 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and an estimated 39,620 women will die from breast cancer. The risks generally increase with age. Almost 8 of every 10 new breast cancer cases and almost 9 of every 10 breast cancer deaths are in women 50 years old and older.
In January 2012, more than 2.9 million women living in the U.S. had a history of breast cancer. Some of them were cancer-free, while others still had evidence of cancer and may have been undergoing treatment.
So, with All that said... Remember to "Feel Your Boobies"- Self-Examination can lead to Early detection which can Save Your Life - And If You are over 40 and/or have a Family History of Breast Cancer, Schedule and Have Your Mammograms as suggested by Your Doctor!... Be Aware, Stay Aware All Year Long... The Life You Save May Be Your Own!!
