Breast Cancer in the News

Martina Navratilova, the tennis great, has just announced that she has breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy and will have 6 weeks of radiation. She is one of the many famous women who have fought breast cancer in the last five years: Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Christina Applegate, Robin Roberts and Kylie Minogue to name a few. All of them go public and re-iterate how important it is to get yearly mammograms. Martina mentioned in the video how important a support system for the cancer patient is as well. I believe that the more that you know about what you have to deal with, the better it is. That is why I wrote this blog.
