October 1-31 is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The most common type of cancer in women is breast cancer. One in every eight women worldwide is diagnosed with breast cancer. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is very important and affects treatment, life expectancy and quality of life. As with all cancer patients, living with pain in breast cancer should not be a fate. Our patients may have pain at different levels and become chronic depending on the disease itself, treatment methods, medications applied and surgery. A conscious youth and woman means a conscious future. We must definitely raise awareness in our youth and women for both early diagnosis and pain treatment. As pain specialists, we are always aware of our patients' pain and are with them throughout the process. It is a fact that the quality of life of our patients increases with pain treatment. We definitely recommend that our patients see a pain specialist for their pain.
