This article gives a basic outline of the symptoms of breast cancer and the available options
Every woman's breasts are different so it is important for each individual woman to be familiar with her breasts in order to recognize any peculiarities.

If you experience these symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean you have breast cancer, but you need to be examined by a doctor.
Breast cancer is very rare before age 20 and is rarely diagnosed in women younger than age 25. Past that age, the incidence rises steadily to reach a peak around the age of menopause. The rate of increase is lessened after menopause, but older women are still at increasing risk over time.
Although a specific cause for breast cancer has not been identified, there are risk factors that increase the likelihood that a woman will develop a breast cancer. These risks include:

It is recommended that women over 35 check their breasts monthly. However, it is also important that all women do regular breast checks.

Catching breast cancer early makes a big difference in the type of treatment needed as well as the overall prognosis.
Understanding Multiple Sclerosis and Its Impact
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves.

The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.
