Vicky T asked:


If so, how rare is it? and what percentage of women get breast cancer at 18? I’m turning 18 should I start getting mammograms?

Lisa asked:


I ask this question because when I research information on the internet about breast cancer recurrence as seems to me as though the articles are saying that women who have developed breast cancer once will always have it recur again and I would like to know is this true or not?

alvaradorolando asked:


I am a student of an MA program. This discussion came up.. Is it okay for women that have had breast cancer to have their blood pressure taken from the side the cancer was on?

Candygirl asked:


I’m no doctor or genius with this stuff. I just wanted to know what are some things that women do that can develop breast cancer in them? Do they get it out of the blue by not taking care of themselves (if so, in what ways?) and it just sort of happens, or is there something all women can do to prevent getting it in the 1st place?

My overall question is just…how do you get it?

hjugiuytru8yt87 asked:


First, how young have you heard of women getting breast cancer? I think it might be not as common for a 18-29 year old to get breast cancer, than it is for a woman over 30 right?

And also, Is it possible to catch somehow breast cancer before the tumor is big enough to tell apart from the normal breast? If you only have a little aching in one spot, a family history of many cancers including breast cancer…is it likely?

Just getting opinions, thank you.

charmed4evr asked:


I ask this because, as some of you know, with every issue of Glamour/Cosmopolitan and other popular magazines, there is always a “catch story” for the month that always focus on cancer of some sort (which freaks me out). And I find that it usually is the recently pregnant woman who discovered a lump in the breast and boom…the “c” word unfoils. My question is does anyone know for sure if pregnancy is related to breast cancer in some way? Especially the later you wait? What are some of your opinions?

cannonball asked:


I mean, breast cancer is bad fer ya. Why celebrate it?

ashleigh2501 asked:


Some people donate and contribute in diffrent ways. Whether its a monatary donation or a walk for the cure, everybody can do a small part to help such a devastating illness. If you know someone that have breast cancer, kind words or calling frequently to check up on them to see how they are doing is doing a big part, of helping women or even men because they get breast cancer to, but mostly women to fight breast cancer. They need encouragment to know that somebodys in their corner helping and cheering them on, as they agree to fight this instead of giving up. Dealing with any illness is tiring. But with encouragment and caring, we can help these women beat this illness and get on with their lives.
