(KSL News) Breast cancer is a disease that can strike women of any age or race, in any walk of life.
The American Cancer Society reports one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
It is estimated more than 182,000 women in the United States will be found to have an invasive form of the disease, and more than 40,000 will die, in 2008.
