HI
Following are the treatments…
1. The stage of the cancer (the size of the tumor and whether it is in the breast only or has spread to     lymph nodes or other places in the body).
2. The type of breast cancer.
3. Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor levels in the tumor tissue.
4. Human epidermal growth factor type 2 receptor (HER2/neu) levels in the tumor tissue.
5. Whether the tumor tissue is triple-negative (cells that do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or high levels of HER2/neu).
6. How fast the tumor is growing.
7. How likely the tumor is to recur (come back).
8. A woman’s age, general health, and menopausal status (whether a woman is still having menstrual periods).
9. Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred
thanks

I think we must go to the hospital if we feel mean. Of course, if it is unfortunate to be breast cancer, We should be more early treatment. And we must pay attention to diet.

They have really made significant breakthroughs in the treatment of Cancer.  They can now pinpoint the location of radiation therapy, instead of it hitting large portions of the body.  This can reduce the side effects associated with radiation treatments for Cancer.

Hi Newbie,

Breast cancer is the typical problem in all women body And It may be very dangerous for her. At present the Last and incredible solution of this problem is surgery of breast to remove the cancer from women breast .So I would suggest you to consult the doctor about this problem.

All the best!

My mother died from breast cancer. Sadly, the treatment she had to endure were almost as bad as the cancer itself.

After they removed one of her breasts and put her through chemo therapy, her cancer did go into remission and she lived another 11 years.

Her cancer came back and she died within a year. It was such a terrible way to go.

breast cancer is a huge problem for every women.Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of breast cancer:
1.Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that move milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are of this type.
2.Lobular carcinoma starts in the parts of the breast, called lobules, that produce milk.
Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
1.Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually does not hurt
2.Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple—for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange.these are mainly breast cancer symptoms.if you found these symptoms in any women means she is suffering from breast cancer..

the treatment for any kind of cancer has to be properly thought out because if the cancer is in the initial stages one can take the risk with the treatment procedures but if the cancer is in mid or last stages then one can’t take chances due to the chances of cancer becoming highly fatal.
