EACH YEAR IN
THE UNITED STATES, ALMOST 180,000 WOMEN ARE TOLD THAT THEY
HAVE BREAST CANCER.
Upon hearing
this unexpected and overwhelming news, a woman is faced with
having to make treatment choices within a short period of
time.
The purpose
of this section of the WIN ABC website is to provide you and
your family with understanding of what the diagnosis means
and why treatment is necessary. It suggests questions to ask
the doctor and identifies other resources for more
information.
With this
knowledge, a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient can more
confidently participate with her doctor in planning the best
possible treatment.
