Trisha Goddard, 66, bravely opens up about her incurable cancer recurrence
TV presenter Trisha Goddard, 66, has revealed that her breast cancer has returned and is now incurable. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with over 55,000 new cases in the UK annually. It originates from cancerous cells in the breast's ducts or lobules and can spread to surrounding tissue. Risk factors include genetics, and symptoms may include a painless lump in the breast or swelling in the armpit. Diagnosis involves tests like mammography and biopsy, and treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone treatment. Early detection and treatment offer the best outlook, and routine mammography has led to more early-stage diagnoses.
