October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is recognized across the world as a special time for the need to raise awareness of the disease and the importance of early detection. Every year some studies reflect an estimated 458,000 women die from Breast Cancer and 1.38 Million new cases occur. Truly staggering numbers and an illness that strikes women in all countries whether developed or not. Penny’s By Plaza Flowers honors this special time and our professional floral designers are committed to our mission.

In the United States there are more than 245,000 women that are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Over 40,000 women actually die from the disease each year. While Breast Cancer is largely a female illness, men also can be diagnosed with breast cancer but at a much lower rate of 1% of the male population. The majority of breast cancer cases in women occur at the age of 50 or older. Although an estimated 10% of all new cases in the United States occur with women that are under the age of 45. Suffice it to say that breast cancer is relentless in its pursuit of stealing the health of many women across the globe.
The good news is while breast cancer death rates increased from 1975 to 1989 by 4%, rates have dropped rapidly since that time by 39%. Statistics reflect that nearly 322,600 breast cancer deaths have been prevented through 2015. This was a positive trend in both older and younger women. Hopefully someday this merciless illness can be eradicated. Our professionals at Penny’s By Plaza Flowers stand ready to help you with a beautiful flower arrangement or gift guaranteed to lift the spirits of anyone close to you that may be suffering with breast cancer.
