World Cancer Day

So today February 4th, 2016 is World Camcer Day.  To be honest I didn't even know it existed before today, that is sad.  Based on 2010 stats with the Canadian Cancer Society 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 in 30 will die.  Wow, 1 in any number is already too high and together we must raise awareness. Early detection is key, as I have mentioned, once a month  take      5 minutes with your 2 bffs and just feel them.  Nobody wants to be a statistic let alone the 1 in 30. 

25,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This represents 26% of all new cancer cases in women in 2015.

5,000 women will die from breast cancer. This represents 14% of all cancer deaths in women in 2015.

On average, 68 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day.

On average, 14 Canadian women will die from breast cancer every day.

220 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 60 will die from it.
