FYI: Breast cancer statistics:

* Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.
* Every three minutes in the Untied States a woman is diagnosed with the disease. Every 13 minutes a woman dies from it.
* In the United States, a woman has about a 13% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer.
* Women aged 50 and over account for approximately 80% of all breast cancers.
* Male breast cancer is becoming more prevalent.
* Between the ages of 40 and 50, the incidence of breast cancer doubles and by 70 it doubles again.
* African-Americans have the highest death rate from breast cancer of any racial group.
* In American, breast cancer in women is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and is second to lung cancer in deaths.


Breast cancer occurs when breast tissue divides and grows at an abnormal rate and develops into a tumor. For the women and thousands of men diagnosed each year with the disease, treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy have proved highly effective. But while surgery still offers the best chance for a cure, the cosmetic results of invasive therapies have helped the trend towards the minimally invasive treatments employed by interventional radiologists like Dr. Grubbs grow in popularity because they provide new and effective tools for battling the disease.

Hi thanks for sharing the symptoms. I had a lump in my breast before and I had it removed. I was lucky it was not a cancer. I hid it for more than 5 years and had it removed last year when I finally had the courage to tell my parents about it. I was afraid to know I might have cancer, good thing I don't.
