Yes treat the trigger for breast cancer triggers are different for each person treat the root cause and not the symptom treat the whole patient and not the disease eat a healthy diet free of hormones and pesticides try alternative methods of treatment Do not blindly believe your oncologist they have vested interests take a consult after providing feedback with name and working phone number get educated before getting medicated.

Have you been operated for the breast cancer or on neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the same. If not, please show to a Breast Surgeon or a Surgical oncologist. They will examine you and ask for a mammogram and ultrasound with core biopsy. The core Biopsy gives the type of cancer, the grade of cancer and the IHC i.e. ER/ PR/Her 2 status. If large tumor or locally advanced cancer, they may ask for metastatic work up like PET CT scan or CECT Scan. Depending upon the tumour to Breast ratio, upfront surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be advised if considering breast conservation (neoadjuvant is usually advised for locally advanced breast cancer ). The surgery may be a mastectomy or breast conservation depending on focality, location, tumor to Breast ratio and response to chemotherapy and your choice. Oncoplasty is a norm after conservation now a days to improve cosmesis. Whole breast reconstruction with autologous tissue or implants is also offered to all patients after mastectomy. For the axilla, they may advise for sentinel node Biopsy if Clinically and sonographically negative or Axillary clearance if positive. Post op depending upon the report you may need chemotherapy with or without Herceptin, followed by radiation (radiation is mandatory after breast conservation. After mastectomy it depends on the pathology report) Hormonal therapy would also be advised for 5-10 years if tumor is ER/PR positive (which drug to start depends upon your menopausal status) Adjuvant Bisphosphonate May be advised depending on the report and menopausal status. The hormonal therapy has been shown to protect from hormone sensitive breast cancer. The two main risk factors for breast cancer are increasing Age and Female sex, which are non modifiable. Also about 10% of the Breast cancers are familial due to BRCA 1/2 gene mutation, who are also at risk of ovarian cancer and a few other cancers especially at a younger age and may be offered surveillance, prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The other risk factors are: Early menarche, late menopause, no children or late children, no breast feeding, OC PILLS, HRT, alcohol, smoking and obesity, history of mantle cell radiation for lymphoma in past to chest wall. So lead a healthy lifestyle, breast feed your babies, but the main risk factors are non modifiable. Screening is a modality recommended for early detection of breast cancer. The earlier the cancer is detected, it has a better chance of cure and more over requires lesser treatment for the same (e.g may avoid mastectomy and chemotherapy) the minor disadvantage being that it may detect cancers that may not progress in lifetime of the patient but currently there are no means to identify which ones are those. Recommendations are Breast self examination (not proven to improve survival, but countries where women follow it have had increased awareness and improved survival in breast cancer) very 2-3 months. Examination by clinician every year beginning at age 20 years. Mammography every 2-3 years from age 45-75 years. I hope I was able to solve your query.
