Women's Health - What is Breast Cancer? (Part I)

DID YOU KNOW???

• Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. The damaged cells can invade surrounding tissue, but with early detection & treatment, most people continue a normal life.

• One in eight (1 in 8) women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. 
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. 
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.

• Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. 

• Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year.

• According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year & affecting countries at all levels of modernization.

• Women with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop breast cancer. A risk factor is something that may increase the chance of getting a disease. 
• Some risk factors (such as drinking alcohol) can be avoided. But most risk factors (such as having a family history of breast cancer) can’t be avoided. 
• Having a risk factor does not mean that a woman will get breast cancer. Many women who have risk factors never develop breast cancer.

Body Confident, Beautiful Me: A Love Your Body Campaign

When You Believe Foundation, Inc. (WYBF) is currently hosting the Love Your Body Day/Campaign on Facebook, which is actively bringing awareness to  that we are hosting. This Campaign has been very successful so far, and its goals are being met.

Here's some background about the Campaign and the day of celebration:
This year, Love Your Body Day is October 19, 2011. On September 25, 1998, National Organization for Women (NOW) Foundation celebrated the First Annual Love Your Body Day. Love Your Body Day is "a day of action to speak out against ads and images of women that are offensive, dangerous and disrespectful."

When You Believe Foundation, Inc. is actively raising awareness towards and after this day about beauty ideals, body image, self-esteem, etc. Fill out this survey that is currently being conducted in order to help us get better assessment of personal and public opinions.

To continue this Campaign, WYBF is launching a platform with the same mission called Body Confident, Beautiful Me: A Love Your Body Campaign. This blog will be the portal about this Campaign and will serve as a medium for girls and women to share their stories with regards to body images, beauty ideals, and things related to self-worth and self-esteem. GIRLS and WOMEN, we highly encourage you to please positively participate in this Campaign in whatever way you can. Share what you LOVE about YOUR BODY, and CELEBRATE your girlhood/womanhood. This blog is for you!

The goal of this blog is to Enlighten, Empower, and Entertain.
