Thanks to research, right now there are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, including those who are currently in treatment and those who have finished. When caught early, breast cancer survival rates are the highest they’ve ever been.
But no matter a cancer’s stage or the scientific progress we’ve made, hearing the words, “You have breast cancer,” is a transformative experience for most people and their loved ones. Active treatment for the disease, though lifesaving, can be grueling—involving surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted drugs, or a mix of several of these options.
Completing successful treatment and joining those 3.8 million survivors is an occasion to be celebrated and an experience that profoundly shapes people for the rest of their lives.
