Winning the War on Breast Cancer - Early Detection is Vital

February 21, 2008 by thinkhappy

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2006 40,970 women died from breast cancer. They are harsh statistics. But they are statistics that deserve attention. Many of you probably knew someone who lost the battle. Many of you may have fought and prevailed. Some of you may be fighting it right now.

As women it is our job to educate each other about breast cancer detection. It is also our job to support each other once we have been diagnosed with this killer. Although breast cancer is not a death sentence, it is a very tough fight. It is important to know that breast cancer statistics have been declining since 1990. Breast cancer awareness has risen exponentially since this time as well. This is no coincidence. Early detection is vital when it comes to winning the battle against breast cancer.
