From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Diabetes and breast cancer sometimes go together. Coming up with the right treatment that will be effective and won't send the patient into a tailspin is a challenge. But recent research shows that a common drug for diabetes may be helpful for both conditions.

Breast Cancer Cells Starved By Diabetes Drug

If this is your case, learn what your challenges are.

Obesity Linked To Higher Risk For Breast Cancer
