Cancer affects millions of women worldwide each year. Patients must undergo chemotherapy and rearrange their entire lives around constant illness. They take extended time off work and negotiate with insurance companies about treatment costs.

Cancer happens when cells forget to die naturally. Normal cells have life cycles and eventually die before leaving the body through waste. Cancer cells keep living and dividing endlessly.

These undying cells create more cancer cells that form growths and tumors. Breast cancer starts in milk ducts, milk-making glands or breast tissue. October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Common signs include rough skin, lumps under the skin and new thick veins. Patients may notice bumps on breast surfaces, skin sores or unusual fluid from nipples. Dimpled skin, hot spots and sunken nipples also signal problems.

Women should check any breast changes immediately with doctors. Free screening programs exist for those without insurance or money. Cancer patients need strong support systems during treatment and recovery.
