Default Breast Cancer

I bet every one of us knows someone who has or has had breast cancer. It is so important to do regular breast exams. My sister has had breast cancer twice and is a two time survivor.

Do you know any survivors of this terrible disease?

My mom died of lung cancer which started from breast cancer.

That is why I am always on the lookout for any lump not only in my breasts but also of any irregular signs anywhere in my body. Early detection and cure is our best weapon against cancer. Prevention does not really work 100%.

My grandmother died of breast cancer. She survived for 10 years, but the doctor told her that she will live for only 5 years. Hopefully, there will be a treatment for cancer soon.
