Breast Cancer Awareness Monthby Alexandra Collum, Breast Implants USA NewsTuesday, October 20th, 2009 - Culver City, CA A symbol of the struggle for breast cancer, the pink ribbon has become an iconic symbol for people dealing with breast cancer all of the world. As October roles around again, the ribbons remerge to recognize the hardships and challenges each breast cancer patient survivor must endur. In commemoration of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, WedMD has created a series of segments featuring personal stories of breast cancer survivors, in hopes of providing insight and inspiration to those in the same situation or close to it. Relating important messages through the stories, the series touches on topics ranging from preventio and early detection to in case diagnosis, and methods for one’s own proactive health care. In addition, the stories highlight the sentiments of losing one or both breasts, which to many are symbolic characteristics of womanhood. One of the stories featured in the series tells the story of 39-year old Zunilda Guzman, a mother from Miami who was diagnosed in 2008. Initially noticing lumps in her chest, she thought it may have been related to her breast implants. However, after a biopsy was performed, her plastic surgeon confirmed that she indeed had breast cancer. Although a devastating reality, Zunilda thought of her 9-year old daughter Summer to provide her with the strength needed to get through her struggle. Zunilda underwent a double mastectomy followed by the removal of her ovaries and uterus. While severe, the fortunate reality is that breast cancer is no longer necessarily equated to a death sentence. Advances in medicine, screening and treatment have improved the prognosis for breast cancer patients over the years. Building off the strength of other breast cancer survivors, women all over the world now have the support and love needed to conquer a onetime devastating illness.
