One in nine (11%) Canadian women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (this means by age 90).
Only one in every 28 Canadian women will die from breast cancer. This means that about two-thirds of the women diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada will live through it.
If breast cancer is found at an early stage there is usually a better chance of successful treatment. Finding cancer early may allow for more treatment options such as less aggressive treatment or breast conserving surgery.
Marcie Adams Nolan, pictured here with her youngest daughter Dana, is a writer, motivational public speaker, and elementary school teacher living in Guelph, Ontario, with her husband, Jeff, and their two daughters, Bryn and Dana. Marcie is a breast cancer survivor who believes in using the power of humour to overcome life’s obstacles.
