Cancer of The Breast

Breast cancer is often a lump which changes the size and shape of the breast. It looks like an ordinary tumor at first but develops into a serious health problem if left untreated or ignored. 

Cancer of the breast affects both men and women but it is most prevalent in women. It is the most prevalent cancer in US. And the US has the highest occurence of the disease globally.

Research has revealed that it is the second most popular kind of cancer after cancer of the lung. 

Cancer of the breast can be remedied by sugery, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy. One disturbing problem is that virtually all the methods of treating this disease have side effects such as abdominal pain, addiction to drugs, allergic reactions, anemia, anxiety, and back pain.

It is highly recommendable that you consult your doctor before taking any medication in case you have any history of any other disease so he can suggest the best treatment program for you to follow.
