Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 An estimated 194,280 new cases of invasive breastcancer will occur in the United States this year -- taking the lives of 40,610 people. Although both men and women are at risk of breast cancer, when cancer is found in women under the age of 45, it is more likely to be aggressive and less responsive to therapies. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so please, take this time urge your senators to support the Breast Cancer Education and Awareness act to save lives and detect cancer early! http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFrAT/zJX1/ANR12 Many women do not learn much about beast health unless they breastfeed or they have a problem that needs medical attention. A new bill introduced in Congress would change this. For the past 30 years new cases of breast cancer steadily increased and while mortality has decreased, increasing education and addressing these life threatening issues earlier would greatly improve cancer survival rates. Tell your senators to support the EARLY Act and end the suffering and deaths caused by breast cancer. http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFrAT/zJX1/ANR12 Thanks for taking action!
