Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer.  It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

About 182,460 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2008. About 40,480 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are about two and a half million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35. Breast cancer death rates are going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and improved treatment.

The Beginning of “The End”
Insanity is generally, that is to say commonly, defined as “Doing the same thing, over and over, but, expecting a different result!”  It’s one thing to make a stupid mistake – it’s very much another thing to be stupid and stubborn and insist on making the same mistake a second time.  The third time we repeat that mistake, then, we’ve gone beyond just stupid or stupid and stubborn – it is just “NUTS” – as in, “CRAZY” – as in, “INSANE!”......
