Breast Cancer and its cure

Breast Cancer is that which starts in the breast tissues .It is diagnosed in 1 out of 8 women. The incidence of breast cancer is more in older women above 50years and it happens 100% more in women than in man. People with a family history of cancer are 30% more likely to get it.

Once diagnosed with the disease the treatment is given according to the stage of cancer and whether it is sensitive to hormones or whether cancer over expresses. The treatment includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, medication and surgery. Whatever treatment is given - the patient, family members and friends go through mental and physical torture. To help them in this difficult phase there are Support groups organized by the Breast Cancer charity organizations, wherein other patients and ex- patients exchange their experiences and all doubts would be resolved by the experts overseeing the meeting.

These Breast Cancer Charity organizations not only help in sharing experiences they also raise funds to provide financial and moral support to those who require the same. They help in spreading awareness regarding breast cancer and also provide mammograms for the needy. They also educate patients, family and friends on the latest updates on cancer and its treatment. Some Support Groups also provide special undergarments for those patients who have had breast removals.

There is life during and after Breast Cancer, you are not alone with this disease. Remember this disease can only have your body not your mind. So gear up toughen yourself and defeat the Breast Cancer.
Wishing you Good Health.
