Is it recommendable to have psychological counseling and attend support groups?
– It is desirable to have psychological support from time of diagnosis up to receiving of drug therapy. Emotional support is especially important in young patients, because older women generally accept the diagnosis with more serenity, while for the impact on younger women is usually greater. Early detection The causes of breast cancer have not yet been determined scientifically, so prevention is not possible, what has been proven is that the best weapon to defend against this terrible disease, is early detection. Early detection cases cannot usually be felt. It is therefore important to get the recommended tests, the base mammography should be taken at age 35 if there are risk factors (for example, close relatives who have had breast cancer) or at age 40 if there are not. A physical examination is not very efficient in early detection of cancer, for this the appropriate methods are the mammography and ultrasound. It is not advisable to do mammograms at a young age, or even every year,
