AAMC health column: Modern surgical techniques improve results for breast cancer survivors
Recently, a friend told me about his mother's experience with breast cancer.She was treated several years ago and underwent a mastectomy (removal of the entire breast).She considered having reconstruction to rebuild the breast, but decided not to when she learned that it would remove one of the muscles from her abdomen.Removing the muscle to rebuild her breast would lead to some weakness and a risk of hernia.

My body is not an object, breast cancer is not a joke – The Express Tribune Blog
My body is not an object, breast cancer is not a jokeThere was a time I believed that campaigning for a cause never really achieved much.But once I stepped into my university, I came to realise the level of ignorance around me regarding topics as common as cancer and abuse, and I acknowledged that there was a dire need to educate the masses – before taking any other steps.However, even this task isn't easy considering that people will consequently avoid or have close to no interest even if any such campaigns are set up.I personally witnessed such a reaction, and I was outraged.
