How do you boost your chances of surviving breast cancer?

See a doctor: See a well trained medical oncologist & follow their recommendations. Have the right treatment for your stage of breast cancer. Ask questions if you do not understand. Continue to have breast physical examinations & follow up mammograms. Exercise. Be active. Eat healthy.

Breast cancer: Breast cancer is still a surgical disease. Having an excellent breast surgeon and an excellent plastic surgeon to perform and reconstruction necessary.

Collage of answers: Three respected colleagues have answered this slightly differently but all are correct. Prevention and early detection (healthy lifestyle, self exams -i'm also old fashioned- mammos, etc.) are vital. If you get it, you need good doctors. I would agree that the "main course" for breast cancer therapy is surgical but may i suggest that a multidisciplinary approach is best.
