Breast Cancer Awareness
Breast Cancer Awareness is getting more attention these days. This means more money raised to help find a cure. Breast Cancer touches so many families, whether it's a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt or male relative who is touched by this disease.
My own grandmother lost both her breasts to breast cancer. It's something that has touched my life.

1 in 8: Understanding those Numbers and Odds
What Are My Odds of Getting Breast Cancer?
In your lifetime, you have a 1 in 8 chance of getting breast cancer. That's a scary number, but what does it mean exactly?
As you age, your odds are constantly changing. In my 30's I had a 1 in 229 change of getting breast cancer.
I turned 40 this year, and that means my odds changed. I now have a 1 in 68 chance of getting breast cancer.
By the time I'm 50, I'll have a 1 in 37 chance of getting breast cancer.
My mom is in her 60's, and she has a 1 in 26 chance of getting breast cancer.
Being a women puts me at higher risk. It's just a fact of life. I've had a relative with breast cancer, which again is another risk.
I've had that phone call to come back and have a lump rechecked on three separate occasions, and it's a scary feeling. I've been getting mammograms since I was 34 due to family history. I don't know about you, but I want to find a cure and an answer!
The facts and figures are from Komen.org. You can find the full sheet of information about risk factors here.
