Random Facts! Aug 21

Don’t know much?  Neither do we!  Here are some random facts about angiosarcoma…

For example, when you google “angiosarcoma” there are just 295,000 hits.  When type in “lung cancer” there are 20.6 MILLION hits.

There is no official Wikipedia article just on angiosarcoma.

Angiosarcoma are types of tumors that originate from the blood vessels.

According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime-WOW.

Over 1.3 million people will be diagnosed with cancer as of 2003 in the US.  Of those 1.3 million, just 1% will be diagnosed with sarcoma (just 13,000 people).

Sarcoma can occur ANYWHERE in the body because it’s a cancer of the connective tissue.

Of those 13,000 people per year, only 1,000 will be diagnosed with angiosarcoma.

There are 300,000,000 people in the US-I can’t do percentages well, but 1000 people vs. 300000000 people is quite a difference!

Just some helpful information!

    Brenda & Kevin,
    It is so wonderful to hear that you both got some good sleep. I don’t sleep well and know how that goes. So God give you rest, peace, relaxation and refreshment. Look forward to seeing you at the BBQ. My cookies are made, wrapped and waiting!
    Take care,
    Sandi
