Breast Cancer Awareness

           Every October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Over the past 2 decades Breast Cancer has become more relevant to our society, and we're trying all that we can to stop it.  As of 2010. there are over 207,000 women living with breast cancer.  On the contrary, there are 2 million people who have survived from breast cancer.  Hopefully, one day we  can find a cure to this disease.  I believe that this has brought many people together.
         Also, almost 40, 000 people have died from breast cancer.  But, the rate of people under 50 who have died has declined because of mammograms ad quicker detections.  Breast cancer I believe has affected every family in this country because I guarentee that everyone has a family member with it.  Along with AIDS, I wish we could put an end to this plague that is killing our people.
