Breast cancer claims more lives amongst African American women than any other race of women. Many reports indicate that this is due to a lack of an early diagnosis. Early detection, a correct diagnosis and treatment have not been the norm for many African Americans. It's time we changed that.

Thank you for this information. These numbers are staggering!

"And the percentage rate of survival is based upon the stage of cancer that is found. Stage one has a 98% survival rate, while stage two has 88%, stage three a 56-49% survival rate, and stage four, a 16% rate."

One of my professors laments every week that the US is the only developed country without healthcare for all. Equal access to healthcare would increas early detection.

Yes. I was floored at the numbers.

Most certainly, healthcare for everyone would definitely decrease the numbers. The ability to for early detection would save so many lives.

Thank you for dropping in and commenting!
