Why White Men Don’t Get Breast Cancer!

Actually, white men do get Breast Cancer.  As well as men of other races.  As a matter of fact, according to The National Cancer Institute – - In 2008, 1,990 men have been diagnosed with this disease and 450 have died. October is the Month that has been set aside for Breast Cancer Awareness, and I just wanted to bring attention to how important it is not to take this disease for granted. Women are the ones who really catch the brunt of this devastating disease. The same source above reports…

…that also in 2008, 182,460 women were diagnosed with Breast Cancer and 40,480 died. The thing is that, these numbers could be drastically reduced. With Awareness and then with education, thousands of lives may be saved. So what can you do to help? Before answering that question I like to leave you with a quote by Maya Angelou, “When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better. ”

You can help by making people aware. Go to my site and share this information with others. Click Here To Share.
