In the news today:
The number of Australian woman being diagnosed with breast cancer increases to 1 in 7; eight women die each day due to the cancer.

it may be earlier diagnosis, evidence of pre cancerous cells and/or more screening, and the latter is good, but it’s still a daunting statistic.

    I'm not surprised, the 1 in 8 figure has been around for a long time.

    It's just everywhere.  A work collegue of mine was diagnosed a week ago and today another one's sister just diagnosed!  Maybe I should go work somewhere else :neutral:
