Breast Cancer News: Death Rates from Invasive Breast Cancer Declining

A comprehensive analysis of breast cancer survival data published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology shows that death rates from invasive breast cancer in the U.S. have declined. Researchers found that death rates decreased by almost one-third, from 33.5 percent in 1988 to 23.5 percent in 2010. Improvements in outcomes were seen in both early-stage and late-stage diagnoses. This is a prime example of the impact of Komen funded research.

Tell Me Your Story
breast cancer survivors series

Sharing your story about your journey through breast cancer can not only help others cope but writing/sharing can be a way of getting your feelings out. It can validate what you're experiencing and can also provide an outlet for emotions that are difficult to share with others. It allows you to reflect on what you're going through or what you’ve been through. Sharing stories of hardship can let people connect with and comfort other people who are/were in the same position. Tell us your Story.

Laura Elizabeth Ranno

Laura was a Boston native and a mother. She was 28 years old when she passed away from breast cancer. For 4 years, Laura experienced pain in her back, shoulders and breast area. The doctor’s opinion or inexperience with laura's pic 2.jpgbreast cancer, Laura’s young age and likely her underinsured status contributed to her not receiving the tests that would have lead to the proper diagnosis. Laura was not treated for almost 3 years.  At 27, she was diagnosed with a later stage of breast cancer. Join the fight for women like Laura and Race for the Cure on Saturday, October 10, 2015.  Register Today.
