Breast cancer

Have you ever witnessed a breast cancer sufferer or an individual treated for the same? What experiences had they shared? I have seen many varieties of breast cancer and their treatments. Unfortunately,  many in advanced stages end up in surgery plus chemotherapies. If you have a family history of breast cancer it is wise to get a regular check up done after 35 years of age. Remember, breast cancer in male is more aggressive and can be life threatening.

No, I avoid this kind of a thing and I had no family members who suffered from this condition.

I have a colleague who had undergone mastectomy and chemotherapy for breast cancer. She is 60 years old now and still looking good, hale and hearty. My brother's wife has the same plight, she gets a checkup every year to make sure that the cancer will not come back. I sometimes wonder why breast cancer had become prevalent in the last 3 decades. There were no cases I know of when I was younger. Is it because of the food or the lifestyle or the pollution?
