My Mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and she talks with us about her journey with chemotherapy and her recovery.
In the United States, breast cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death (after lung cancer and colon cancer). Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of developing invasive breast cancer and a 1 in 33 chance of breast cancer causing their death. In the U.S., both incidence and death rates for breast cancer have been declining in the last few years. Nevertheless, a U.S. study conducted in 2005 by the Society for Women's Health Research indicated that breast cancer remains the most feared disease. source
