I want to dedicate tonight's blog to my Aunt Sherry, who is currently recovering from surgery due to a battle with breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, "The chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman's life is about 1 in 8 (13% of women). It is estimated that in 2006 about 212,920 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States. At this time there are slightly over 2 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Women living in North America have the highest rate of breast cancer in the world." To beat this, its imperative to detect the cancer early, so please, women, GET CHECKED!! My aunt should survive this battle simply because she and her doctors detected the cancer early. Each day, more and more strides are made towards a cure, but until then, women all over the world will be continuing to fight this disease. Chances are, it WILL effect someone you know. For more information, take a look at www.cancer.org. Help continue to make strides! Fight the fight Aunt Sherry.
