Breast cancer is:
The most common cause of death from cancer among Hispanic women.
The second most common cause of death from cancer among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women.
In 2004, 186,772 women were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 40,954 women died from the disease.
Men can also get breast cancer. In 2004, 1,815 men were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 362 men died from the disease.
There are different kinds of breast cancer. The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast turn into cancer. Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast, like the ducts or the glands (or lobules.)
No one is immuned from cancer. Let's show our support in October. You can wear pink to let others see the support for the fight agains breast cancer.
Help someone you know. Take her or him to lunch, shopping, to sit in the park and feed the birds. Learn to knit this month and start making chemo caps for cancer patients. There are many ways to let those suffering with this dreadful disease that you care and are aware of what it is doing to people from all races, creeds, religions, political preferences, the rich, the poor, famous and unknown.
