Over 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year; 40,000 of them do not survive. In fact, breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States.
Breast cancer detection and treatment is not the clear-cut, black-and-white process many of us might expect. In this episode, our panelists talk about the grey areas that every woman should know about. They address these questions and more:
- If I do everything right, can I prevent breast cancer?
- If I have a negative mammogram, am I safe?
- If I get breast cancer, how can I be sure I'm getting the right treatment?
The risk of getting breast cancer increases dramatically with age. So, if you or someone you care about is approaching 40, you'll want to watch this episode.
