Breast Cancer - Click to help

[iKermit]

from an email:

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Thanks!

Facts About Breast Cancer in the United States:

• The National Cancer Institute estimates that a woman in the United States has a 1 in 8 chance of developing invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. This risk was about 1 in 11 in 1975.
• More women in the United States are living with breast cancer than any other cancer (excluding skin cancer). Approximately 3 million women in the U.S. are living with breast cancer: about 2.3 million have been diagnosed with the disease and an estimated 1 million do not yet know they have the disease.
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States and worldwide (excluding skin cancer). In 2007, it is estimated that 240,510 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States.
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S, after lung cancer. Approximately 40,460 women in the U.S. will die from the disease in 2007. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for U.S. women between the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death for women worldwide.
• All women are at risk for breast cancer.
• Although scientists have discovered some risk factors for breast cancer, the known risk factors account for only a small percentage (~30%) of breast cancer cases. There are few interventions with limited value that reduce risk, and none of them prevent breast cancer.

Facts About Breast Cancer in Canada:

• Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women.
• In 2007, an estimated 22,300 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 will die of it.
• An estimated 170 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 50 will die of it.
• On average, 429 Canadian women will be diagnosed and 102 will die with breast cancer every week.
• One in 9 women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime. One in 27 will die of it.

Clicked!!!! This is very important not only to women, but to men that have women they love in their lives. Oct is "Feel yourself up" month so remind those you care about to do self-breast exams.

I had a scare last year. I found a lump in one of my breasts. I was terrified thinking it was cancer right then and there. Luckily it was nothing bad. I found it doing a self-breast exam, so they are very important.

I had an aunt and a grandma pass away from breast cancer. Glad people are working so hard for awareness and a cure.
