Episode #121 – On this WONDERFUL WOMEN WEDNESDAY we talk about BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Men get breast cancer too. Did you know a female child of a man with breast cancer who inherits the defective gene has a risk between 40% and 80% of eventually developing breast cancer? Cancer is a broad term for a class of diseases characterized by abnormal cells that grow and invade healthy cells in the body. Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast as a group of cancer cells that can then invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. You’re not alone - No matter how long ago you completed breast cancer treatment and no matter the struggles you face, there are likely others who have been where you are today. Sharing experiences and advice with other survivors may be helpful. Susan G. Komen has a list of resources for finding local and online support groups. Your health care provider can also tell you how to find a local support group. Susan G. Komencreated the Komen Treatment Assistance Program to help those struggling with the costs of breast cancer treatment by providing financial assistance to eligible individuals. Funding is available for eligible individuals of any age undergoing breast cancer treatment, at any stage of the disease. To learn more about this program and other helpful resources, call the Komen Breast Care Helpline at 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636) or email helpline@komen.org. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?
