* About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12.4%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
* In 2018, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,960 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
* About 2,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2018. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.
* About 40,920 women in the U.S. are expected to die in 2018 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1989. Women under 50 have experienced larger decreases. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness.
* For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. In 2017, it's estimated that about 30% of newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancers.
* In women under 45, breast cancer is more common in African-American women than white women. Overall, African-American women are more likely to die of breast cancer. For Asian, Hispanic, and Native-American women, the risk of developing and dying from breast cancer is lower.
* As of January 2018, there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment.
* A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Less than 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it.
* About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic mutations that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations.
* The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are gender (being a woman) and age (growing older).

After reading those facts above you then think about it & realize how not only breast cancer but any kind of cancer can affect each one of our lives so suddenly. Scars & financial burden are not only left mentally but physically that can trouble one or a entire family.Myself I would not understand about the effects of breast cancer on one or their family until a very close Friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years back at a young age of just 34.Today my ol Friend is a survivor living cancer free after surgery. Springfield Raceway will be having a event try to help raise some money to donate to a local lady to help a little with some finances during troubled times.Girls be sure & get those Mammograms regularly…..
