Being diagnosed with cancer, especially cancer of the breast, can be shattering in many ways especially emotionally. It is for this reason that cancer support groups are associated with large hospitals in several cities of the world. These groups help the patients and their families to cope with the agony of the cancer and provide a very supportive ambience.

Posted on: 05/03/2012 Saying incidence of breast cancer [or any disease] is high in western world is meaningless. In India, we do not have proper statistics in any hospital. We do not have well established Biostatistics dept in any of our hospitals/universities. Moreover, we do not have any proper centralized system of collecting such data as they have in the US as NIH. Apart from this, still more than 65% of our population are in rural areas where basic treatment itself is at stake. So, we do not have any rights whatsoever to comment on the western world.
