 You mainly get breast cancer
through your DNA. You are more
likely to be diagnosed with this
type of cancer if it is in your
genes.
 Another way of being diagnosed
with breast cancer is when your
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutate
and are no longer able to kill the
cancer cells at the right time which
leads cancer to spread.
+
 Mainly anyone can be diagnosed with breast cancer, most
people think that only women can get it but men can get it as
well.
 Other risk factors are the levels of female hormones that
circulate in your body throughout life, the age when you began
your menstrual period, the amount of pregnancy’s you’ve been
through, your age at first pregnancy, whether you have breast-
fed your children, and your level of physical activity.
+
 A lump or thickening in or near the
breast or in the underarm area.
 A change in the size or shape of
the breast.
 Nipple discharge or tenderness, or
the nipple pulled back or inverted
into the breast.
 Ridges or pitting of the breast,
making the skin look like the skin
of an orange.
 A change in the look or feel of the
skin of the breast, areola or nipple
such as warmth, swelling, redness
or scaliness.
+
 Breast cancer can be found a few ways,
one way to tell if you have this cancer is
a mammogram which is an x-ray for
your breast to see if you have a tumor.
Another way is a self examination which
is when you try to tell from touch if you
feel a lump or any discomfort.
 Once you are diagnose with breast
cancer it varies how long you will have
it. If you are diagnosed early and it
hasn’t spread you may only have the
cancer for a few months. But some
people have the cancer for years. It all
depends on how long you’ve had the
cancer before it is found.
+
 Breast Cancer can be both
acute and chronic depending
when you find the cancer, if you
find it before it spreads it would
be considered acute and if you
find it after it has spread it would
be chronic.
 You never become completely
immune to Breast Cancer
because it can always spread to
other areas even after you get
rid of the first tumor.
+
 The treatment is different for the stage of cancer you are on. To
get the tumor out you will have to go through surgery to have it
removed. Then you either need to go through radiation or
chemotherapy depending how far along our cancer is.
 Breast Cancer can be terminal if the cancer has spread and is
no longer able to be treated. There is a 1 in 33 chance of
Breast Cancer causing death.
