Cancer cells develop and attack the normal tissues in our body; it also spreads through blood flow or lymph fluid producing another cancer in other parts of the body. Statistics show that over 80 percent of women suffering from breast cancer are over 50 years old; women are more prone to abnormal breast symptoms when they get older.
