I feel I have been healed, at least for this day. My goal is to reach out and help others heal through our 2011 “Relay for Life”. Virginia Crisafulli

Cancer is a group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Breast cancer begins in breast tissue, which is made up of glands for milk production and the remainder of the breast is made up of fatty tissue. Most masses in the breast are benign and are not life threatening. Cancerous breast tumors are invasive or infiltrating and start in the glands. The seriousness of breast cancer depends on the stage and when it is diagnosed. What is Breast Cancer?
