   In honor of Breast Cancer Awarness Month I urge every woman to get a routine check up."An estimated 182,800 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed. Approximately 42,200 deaths will occur in women from breast cancer. One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk. Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50. Approximately 1400 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in  and 400 of those men will die. More than 1.7 million women who have had breast cancer are still alive in the United States. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74" ( Abouthealth.com)
 So in honor of those brave women and men ( yes men) lets  sport a little pink in our wardrobe, a pink shoe, a clutch or even a breast cancer shirt! show your support, you never know how you can be affected.

Until next time Live Life ,like its the only one you have <3
