I know that I do. In fact, the circle grows larger every day with friends, families and loved ones who are stricken by breast cancer. diagnosed, fighting or have survived breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, and it is estimated that this year more than 230,000 cases of breast cancer.

Even though we do not yet know how to prevent or cure breast cancer, we do know how to fight it. It is known that mammography detects 90 to 95 percent of all breast cancers. In fact, motility due to breast cancer can be reduced 30 to 40 percent among women age 50 and over by the use of mammography, annual clinical exams, and monthly self-examinations.
The good news is that years of hard work, raising awareness and education are paying off. This past May, the National Cancer Institute announced that the overall breast cancer death rate in American women is decreasing. But this is not the time to rest or to walk away from our efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer. We must continue this cause until early detection and regular mammograms are a part of every woman's life

As a daughter, I realize that the risks are not worth taking where our health is concerned. Through early detection and education, we can save lives. Please join with me and help win the fight to raise awareness throughout Virginia.
