Lastly we had an interview with Dr Karin Baatjies. She spoke to us about Breast Cancer. It is
said that Breast cancer is a collection of diseases. Some cases are more aggressive than others. The type and course that the disease takes varies from patient to patient comparable to the variation that exists in fingerprints. A woman can develop breast cancer any time during her adult life - even as early as in her late twenties. One out of fifteen women will develop the disease at some stage during her lifetime.
