Don't forget that men can get breast cancer too.

And, no, not just guys with racks like Mickelson.

More women die from heart disease than any other disease

Heart disease does not just strike men, it is also the biggest killer of women in the USA. Approximately 40% of all women who die are struck by heart disease or stroke. More women die this way than from the total of all cancers, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Despite attempts to educate women about the risk of cardiovascular/heart disease, 45% of US women still do not know that their greatest health risks are from heart disease and stroke. However, this is better than in 1997, when 70% were unaware.

In 1969, the Chicago Bears were in the midst of a 1-13 season, which was the worst record in the history of the Bears.[3] Piccolo had finally earned a place in the starting lineup as an undersized fullback. During the ninth game in Atlanta on November 16, he voluntarily removed himself from the game, something he had never done, which raised great concern among his teammates and coaches. He had extreme difficulty breathing on the field, so when the team returned to Chicago he was promptly sent for a medical examination, and was diagnosed with embryonal cell carcinoma.[4]

Soon after, Piccolo had surgery at Sloan-Kettering in New York City to remove the tumor. He had another surgery in April 1970 to remove his left lung and pectoral muscle. After being bothered by chest pain, Piccolo was re-admitted to the hospital in early June, and doctors determined the cancer had spread to other organs, most notably his liver. Brian Piccolo died on June 16, 1970, at the age of 26.
