Breast Cancer Can Make Difficulties Impossible

Breast cancer is no one’s ally; in fact breast cancer is the worst thing that can happen to any family. The problems are not just limited to the woman and her physical and emotional state. A family often times has to go through the difficult task of seeing someone battle through the difficult physical and emotional effects of breast cancer. As time goes on so too does the feeling that there’s very little that can be done blankets people’s emotions.

So, after the mammogram, what are some difficulties that we are likely to face? The patient can often face difficulties that are far greater than what’s expected. According to a scincedaily.com “Many older women with newly diagnosed breast cancer have difficulty accomplishing daily tasks, and African-Americans seem to be disproportionately affected. Those are the findings of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's results suggest that many breast cancer patients could benefit from receiving therapy to improve their physical function.”

It’s sad to think that breast cancer can not only take a life but it can also hinder it in the process. Yes there are many myths about breast cancer but unfortunately there are also many well researched facts. This kind of discovery is part of the reason why it is vital to ensure that early detection becomes a key objective amongst all women.

The battle against breast cancer has progresses and it continues to improve, but even with all of this improvement there is a long way to go. There is a strong need for greater advocacy in areas such geographic location and demographics. The battle will rage on for a very long time to come and that can only mean continuous discoveries that are both favorable to the cure and counter to the cure.
