Myth: Breast cancer is a death sentence.
Truth: If detected and treated early enough, breast cancer need not result in death. Early detection can help save lives and breasts.
Myth: Breast cancer is contagious.
Truth: You cannot be infected with breast cancer through physical contact (touching, drinking out of the same cup, sharing food, or having sex).
Myth: If I have bigger breasts, I have a higher chance of getting breast cancer.
Truth: This has not been proven by research. Someone who is well-endowed has an equal chance of getting breast cancer as one who has smaller breasts. Being overweight, however, does increase your risk.
