Fighting with breast cancer

Check how much you are aware of health conditions and situations through this quiz line. I took a quiz for breast cancer and my score was excellent….I mean in the opposite sense. Before it I’m not sure that man too can have breast cancer, though their is less than one percent for all cancer cases. I used to think that only the female line in a family tree is at risk. Yes, it is but males from a family with history of females suffering breast or ovarian cancer also can fall under risk. 1700 men were diagnosed in US for having breast cancer. And also persons with family history having ovarian cancer are at high risk of having breast cancer. It is said that Mastectomy can reduce the fertility of a woman. And woman of age 40 should start doing mammograms and other examination for breast cancer. Know from breastcancer.org about its symtoms, treatments, etc.
Still there is a question why cancer seems to be very common in the US and similar places. However surviving and living through it is another inspiring story to read and to tell. Even after therapy and surviving, every patient fears will it come back? But they need to be strong and need to live every single day and every single moment is precious. Read this story to know how it came and how it goes.
