Breast Cancer Travel Tag Geocoin

he Mission for my Breast Cancer Travel Tag Geocoin is to raise awareness and the importance of having your yearly mammogram. This travel tag was given to me as a gift by my friends the Blue J's shortly after my Breast Cancer diagnosis, which was only found because I went in for my yearly check-up. I am very lucky that my cancer has been caught in its earliest stages, so ladies and men, please tell the women in your lives GO GET YOUR ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM! It will save your life.

I love collecting photographs, if you have discovered this travel tag and you know someone who's life has been touched by Breast Cancer (even if it is you) please upload your picture doing what you love with whom you love (nothing X rated please).


Once you choose hope, anything's possible."

 The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for breast cancer in the United States are for 2011:

• About 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women
• About 57,650 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
• About 39,520 deaths from breast cancer (women)

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is a little less 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now there are more than 2½ million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
