Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is probably one of the most common cancers in individuals over 60 years of age. More than 285,000 women were diagnosed with this aggressive cancer type recently, and over 44,000 thousand women passed away from the disease.
There is some good news, though. Due to advances in treatment and screening, nearly 90% of those with breast cancer will live 5 years past their diagnosis.
As far as detection and treatment, the best way for you to detect this aggressive cancer type is by getting yearly mammograms. These screenings help doctors catch cancer in its earlier stages when treatment is the most straightforward.
If you’re diagnosed with this type of cancer, speak to your doctor about what kind of treatment options you have. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can all be used to treat breast cancer successfully.

Colon cancer preventable, eh? WITH INSURANCE, our quoted share for a screen was $1800 dollars! OUR SHARE WITH INSURANCE! We noticed that now it is required that it be done in a FACILITY (triggering a “facility chg”); anesthesia (anesthesia chg + anesthesiologist) and 1 other I can remember. These used to be done in a doc’s office. They gave u 1 pill to relax u, & u could watch the whole thing being done on the screen.
Inflated prices, unnecessary rules, & ppl with insurance paying for those without.
So how many of u are rushing out to pay for ur $1800 roto rooter check?
AI in the help to cure cancer. It looks like human life’s biggest problem and should be using AI immediately.
I was diagnosis with endometrial cancer and had the proverbial surgery (stage 3). All I was told was “we have a lot of work to do” – no explanation of what was or is – see me in 3 weeks (which I only got to see his nurse). I had to wait 5-6 week before I could get an answer if this was fatal or not. SO NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ON TV OR READ. I had to do my own research on treatments/cancer/etc. there was no compassion, etc. The medical end of this diagnosis sucks. You are on your own. Was even told KEYTO was part of the treatment because the “advertisement says so”. What a way to go.
