This year in America, more than 211,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die this year. If detected early, the five-year survival rate exceeds 95%. Mammograms are among the best early detection methods, yet 13 million U.S. women 40 years of age or older have never had a mammogram.
Use October to spread the message about Breast Cancer Awareness. Take the time to fund free mammograms! Create a self-exam habit for yourself and encourage others to do the same. Know your body and know the facts. Boobie Power 2005!
