<p>Mary shares how her breast cancer had spread to her hip and spine before contacting Total Health Institute. Since starting on the THI program she had a follow-up with her oncologist two months into the program and they said that the scans show no progression and the area in the spine was now diminishing. Mary said the pain she had in her back is gone since coming to THI and her mind is much more focused. As she said &quot;no more stinking thinking&quot;. She feels great and recommends everyone that is doing conventional treatment should add a program to help the healing.</p>

Breast cancer patients have several options when it comes to treatment. ++[Breast cancer](https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast)++ mortality rates have significantly decreased because breast cancers can be quickly diagnosed with a breast MRI.

Breast cancer research has shown that it is crucial for women with breast cancer risk to self-examine to identify any breast lump they may have. As women age, they need to undergo mammograms on a regular basis so changes in breast tissue are easily identified.

Breast tissue may offer some symptoms, but women must consider their risk factors. ++[Genetic counseling](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Clare-Turnbull/publication/5313326_Genetic_Predisposition_to_Breast_Cancer_Past_Present_and_Future/links/02e7e536a28ac49608000000/Genetic-Predisposition-to-Breast-Cancer-Past-Present-and-Future.pdf)++ is imperative when it comes to proper cancer care.

There are several methods for treating breast cancer cells. A breast cancer doctor will determine the cancer type before suggesting recommended breast cancer treatment options.

Common breast cancers are:

- Ductal carcinoma in situ
- Invasive ductal carcinoma
- Lobular carcinoma
- Triple-negative breast cancer
- Inflammatory breast cancer
- Advanced metastatic breast cancer

In the United States, ++[approximately 266,400 people](https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/index.htm)++ are diagnosed with breath cancer every year.

Success in treatment will depend on the early detection of breast cancer symptoms. Success might not necessarily mean a breast cancer cure, but rather survivorship.
