Introduction
 

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 resouces 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.
