Nonstick olive oil spray

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Breast cancer is the most common and second-most fatal cancer among females, affecting one in nine females who reach age 90. In America, 211,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and there are an average of 43,300 female fatalities attributed to breast cancer annually. Despite this alarming statistic, the five-year survival rate of females who have detected breast cancer early surpasses 95%.

Breast Cancer is More Than A Lump...

A common breast cancer myth is that a lump must be present for it to be breast cancer. Although a lump is a common symptom of breast cancer, there are many breast cancer symptoms women aren't aware of like sudden change in breast size or a breast that is warm to the touch.

• 1 in 4 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime
• Over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. this year
• Over 40,000 women will die from the disease
• Breast cancer occurs in men. In fact, over 1000 men will be diagnosed this year

Breast Cancer Isn't Just About Genetics

Although breast cancer can be hereditary, those with family members who have suffered from breast cancer are not the only ones at risk. Many women have never had anyone in their family diagnosed with breast cancer. While it is especially important for women with a genetic disposition for breast cancer to be regularly screened, it is just as important for women who don't.

How You Can Raise Breast Cancer Awareness

There are several things you can do to raise awareness about breast cancer. You can start by attending a breast cancer awareness event in your area. There may be walks, runs, fundraisers, and rallies to support breast cancer awareness.

You can also let friends and family know about the dangers of breast cancer. A great idea is to make breast cancer pink ribbon cookies and give them out to friends and family with cards that describe how to do a self breast exam or symptoms of breast cancer. It's a simple way of getting people to get breast cancer awareness on their minds!
