Is there a Hope for Breast Cancer Patient?

Cancer is a word one doesnt want to hear either. In fact, if you will ask a patient what is deadliest disease in this world. Im sure this illness is on top of the list. Although, there are case studies and researches every now and then to finally evolve with the cure but the sad news up until now, there is still no medication for any cancer disease. What is available today are injectables that will just lessen its effects to the body. Sadly, cancer has penetrated the entire world. It already kills milions of lives regardless of the social status. As a woman, i often wondered if im doing a healthy lifestyle because i also fear for my life and for possible affection of this disease on my body. They say that breast cancer is the ultimate killer for woman. I have personal encounters where their respective breasts were taken away just to get rid of possible spread of bacteria in the body. The chemotherapy is a very stressful process, aside from the fact that its very costly, the effect to the patient is also very risky. The first time i saw a friend who is now bald because of this medical procedure, i was teary-eyed because i cant help but feel pity to her. But of course, for a family who hope for survival, its not important how does it cost or how long does it takes. the only light that gives them the reason to smile is their hope that one day, their loved one will recover and picked up those little pieces that has once broke the hope and faith in them.
