Breast cancer happens when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control and can then invade nearby tissues or spread throughout the body. Large collections of this out of control tissue are called tumors. However, some tumors are not really cancer because they cannot spread or threaten someone's life. These are called benign tumors. The tumors that can spread throughout the body or invade nearby tissues are considered cancer and are called malignant tumors. Theoretically, any of the types of tissue in the breast can form a cancer, but usually it comes from either the ducts or the glands. Because it may take months to years for a tumor to get large enough to feel in the breast, you screen for tumors with mammograms, which can sometimes see disease before you can feel it
It can be hereditary, but everyone is in the same boat when it comes down to stressing the bodies immune systems and normal cell functions from living in our environment that has many causes for cancer, and with what we eat and how we take care of ourselves (smoking/drinking etc...). Over time cells will become malilgnent (dead and contagious) where they become tumors. Other tumors are cancers and spread rapidly taking over and can release parts of the malignent cells to other parts of the body by metastasis(through the blood stream or lymphatic systems). It's possible to have more than one type of cancer due to this. Its also possible for it be controlled, removed. A lack of melatonin (a chemical released from the brain which repairs cells while you sleep) is one cause of cancers including breast. If the body is overburderned with trying to keep up with repairing all the time it has a very high chance of getting cancer. Cancer rates are 40% average for women and 45% for men in your lifetime per the National Cancer Institue. Breast cancer being the highest cases for women. Everything from the cell wall(membrane) to the genes and DNA (single and double dna strand breaks) of a cell can be affected creating the environment for cancer to prosper.

Symptoms include:

change in size or shape of the breast

ridges or pitting of the breast skin .

There are many causes to cancer. Some are genetic, some are environmental, some are self causing (ex.smoking, drinking), and some are unknown, just like mine. There can also be many syptoms depending on the type of cancer. With breast cancer, a lump is the most obvious symptom. A lump however doesn't mean that it is cancer. A biosey or other testing can be done to determine. Sometimes you may not have any symptoms at all until it is in the last stages as happened to me previously.
My cancer (the second time) was located in my breast. Breast cancer runs extremely high in my mother's family. Her grandmother died from it and 5 of her aunts have it or have passed from it. I thought that I may have had breast cancer. Mine however was in my breast, but it was not breast cancer. It was the rare cancer that I previously had.
The best thing to do is if you have a symptom that is not normal for you, go to your doctor and get it checked. You can't live in fear of the what if's. If I did I would probably be in a mental institution by now. I was given 1 month to live in 2000 and as you see I am well alive. I don't live each day wondering if my cancer will return again. I fully enjoy life and take each day and cherish it!

Cancer cells or in your body all the time.but the t cells fight them, kill them,but when the cancer cells multiply more then the t cells can kill them then the cancer grows. cancer cells or negative cells.sick cells if you will. but they grow and multiply till they become tumors and may spread.

Eat right, take vitamins,no junk foods.no drugs, alcohol. caffein.eat only whole natural foods so the t cells will be healthy and be able to fight off the cancer cells in the body.
