Breast Cancer
Charities & Organizations
The Centers for Disease Control say that breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, after non-melanoma skin cancer. Nearly 200,000 people (mostly, but not exclusively, women) were diagnosed with it in 2005 (the last year of available statistics). Thankfully there are many organizations ready to help people facing this dreadful disease.
