Doctor I am a 38 years old female. I always took good care of my health. I maintained a healthy eating habits. I never consumed alcohol and I have never even tried smoking. Still, I am suffering from a very unfortunate disease - breast cancer. Though I have maintained positivity and I know I will be fine very soon. But still I am curious to know what causes breast cancer?
