MyFox New York | Web Extra: Breast Cancer Special Reports

by Karen Lynch on May 9th, 2008

I just settled down to some Friday Night television and what do I find? A Fox New York Breast Cancer Special Report. Quick! Turn on Fox 5 News, now!

No, seriously, there’s only 15 more minutes, you’ll probably miss it. But I did a quick Internet search to find out what I could for you all, and found this statistic on their website:

“Chances of developing breast cancer rise dramatically as women age: at age 25, the chances of getting the disease are less than 1 in 1,000; at age 50, the incidence has gone up to 1 in 63 women, and at age 75, it’s 1 in 15.”

Looks like the webpage I referred you to links to much of what is on the television tonight. So no worries if you’re missing it … just check it out online.
