Some Facts on Breast Cancer:

"One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk. Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer." from: Women's Heath.

"Not counting some kinds of skin cancer, breast cancer in the United States is---

- The most common cancer in women, no matter your race or ethnicity.

- 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. "
