October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Here are some facts that a lot of people don't know! One that is not listed below is that ALL women over the age of 20 should preform a self breast exam once a month! SO ladies FEEL YOUR BOOBIES and guys get your wives to feel hers and hey help if it suits you!! Early detection is key to the survival rate!!
* “1 in 8 or 12.6% of all women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimeâ€Â
* “An estimated 182,800 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this yearâ€Â
* “Approximately 42,200 deaths will occur in women from breast cancer this year.â€Â
* “Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk.â€Â
* “Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.â€Â
* “Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50.â€Â
* “Approximately 1400 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year and 400 of those men will die.â€Â
* “Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74.â€Â
* “The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present.â€Â
* “Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.â€Â
* “Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.â€Â
* “Oral contraceptives may cause a slight increase in breast cancer risk; however 10 years after discontinuing use of oral contraceptives the risk is the same as for women who never used the pill.â€Â
* “Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, accounting for more than 1 in 4 cancers diagnosed in US women.â€Â
* “Men are generally at low risk for developing breast cancer; however, they should report any change in their breasts to a physician.â€Â
* “Breast cancer incidence and death rates generally increase with age. During 2000-2004, 95% or new cases and 97% of breast cancer deaths occurred in women aged 40 and older.â€Â
* “White women have a higher incidence of breast cancer than African American women after age 40. In contrast, African American women have a higher incidence rate before the age of 40 and are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age.â€Â
