In honor of...

All the breasts out there!

I'm thinking of you and hope you don't get cancer. Cancer sucks!

I have been doing the Susan G Komen run each year and it is important to know about your health.

Here is a little bit about breast cancer in the United States from their website:

WOMEN
In 2011, it is estimated that among U.S. women:

•There will be 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer (includes new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors, but not recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors).
•There will be 57,650 new cases of in situ breast cancer (includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), of those, about 85 percent were DCIS). DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer and LCIS is a risk factor that increases the risk of invasive breast cancer. Learn more about DCIS and breast cancer risk.

•There will be 39,520 breast cancer deaths.

MEN
Breast cancer in men is rare, but it does happen. In 2011, it is estimated that among U.S. men:

• There will be 2,140 new cases of breast cancer.
• There will be 450 breast cancer deaths.
