Breast Cancer

I was investigating a business opportunity and while surfing the net I was appalled to see the facts about breast cancer.
As a husband and son I decided to spend some time and effort to at least make sure the women in my live can detect breast cancer sooner and have a better chance of survival.
A worrying fact is that only 14% of women perform regular breast self-exams and more than half of these women perform it incorrectly and on the wrong day.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today and is the most common cancer among women. More than 1.2 million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide and over 400,000 will die of the disease this year alone. The chance of developing invasive breast cancer during a woman's lifetime is approximately 1 in 8 (about 13%). Though much less common, breast cancer also occurs in men with an estimated 1,720 cases diagnosed in 2005.
I found a device that can greatly enhance self examination, and I am making it my mission to promote this product to all women
