Background

For women, breast cancer is the second deadliest form of cancer. Today, around 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer, and 85% of these women are not genetically predisposed. In order for them to be diagnosed, they need to have a screening called a mammogram to search for lumps and recognize the symptoms.

When diagnosed with cancer, many feel alone with nowhere to turn as they prepare for their mastectomy. Even with the support of family and friends, talking with someone facing the same problems can be more helpful for healing and wellness.

Cancer support groups and nonprofits such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure or the American Cancer Society can be especially worthwhile for women fighting breast cancer. They may organize breast cancer walks, provide transportation to medical facilities, or any other services to breast cancer survivors and patients. Find out how you can help fight the cause by exploring the breast cancer organizations in your community. Donate or volunteer today!
