According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women in the United States. It is estimated that one in eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. While there is no cure for breast cancer, there are treatments available that can improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients. Some women opt for alternative or homeopathic treatments, such as essential oils or natural remedies. While there is no scientific evidence to support the efficacy of these treatments, some women find them to be helpful in managing their symptoms. Ultimately, each woman/man must make his or her own decision about which treatment option is best for her/him.
