Breast cancer is genetics disease. Didn't know that did you? It affects mostly females but it can still affect males because of the fact that its a genetic disease. Breast cancer is when the cells in your breast starts producing extra cells forming a tumor that can hurt your inner organs. The symptoms are lumps in your breast, swelling changes of the skin, changes in the size or shape of your breast and discharge from your nipple. You can get breast cancer treated with radiation, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. How long you live depends on what happens to you. Like if the treatment works or not, or if your cancer spreads. This disease was discovered in 2002. It's more common in African American women, and a certain type of Jewish group. It in general is more common in women than men. For those who are afflicted with breast cancer I hope you find a cure and survive and enjoy your life.
