First of all, breast cancer isn't a death sentence: overall, about 60% of women survive breast cancer, and go on to live long and healthy lives. The percentage can be as high as 99%, depending on the particular type and stage of breast cancer. Stage 1, 2, 3 is easily curable by surgery followed b....
Good news! The short answer is a resounding no. Cow milk’s relationship with breast cancer has been studied extensively over the past 25 years, and while the details of the studies don’t always agree, most of the studies agree on the basics: that dairy is not associated with an increased risk for br....
The risk is so low that it is impossible to read using tables of published health data and statistics. Children do get cancer, but very rarely breast cancer. Statistics will often group women aged 15–39 as “young women” but this is very misleading as the bump in cases begins in women over 20, or eve....

Yes...There are many stories with happy ending. Chemo is not the end of your life. Every day is a gift... that's what chemo reminds you. The majority of women who develop breast cancer around the world will not die of breast cancer. In fact, 8 out of 10 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer will not die from breast cancer.
Most would do fine no matter what.
Adding anti-cancer medications to a treatment regimen may further reduce the risk of death from breast cancer, but only by a percentage of a person's base rate risk of death from breast cancer. 70 to 80% of those diagnosed with breast cancer who get chemotherapy do not need it.
The recommendation is inexact. It is known that a percentage will benefit, it is just not known which individuals in the population of those who get chemotherapy will be the ones who will benefit from it.
