I go to work at 8:00am just like the average Joe does.

# data[].attributes.body
Once at work, then my day takes a change for the worse and the better at the same time. For the worse because I'm an Oncologist so it's quite sad when I have to tell people that they have cancer. Then my day gets better though, when I have the opportunity to tell people that they are cured of cancer they often are overjoyed and it doesn't happen often.

# data[].attributes.body
I than leave work at 5 pm to return home and go to my love ones hoping that they don't end up like many people I meet everyday and sleep well knowing what I have done for the people..

I go through a regular morning like every one else before I go off to work.

Many people I talk with don't know that it is more likely you'll have cancer at an older age and are confused when I tell them they have breast cancer every amuses it won't be them.

# data[].attributes.body
Every now and than I have to deliver the bad news. Like to woman throughout the day as they have Breast cancer an estimated 1 in 8 woman will have breast cancer during their life and I have to deliver the bad news. However only 1 in 1,000 men will ever get it. Everyday between 8 am and 5 pm I talk to at least one person with breast cancer even if it is just a revisit.

# data[].attributes.body
If a mother has had any form of cancer the children are 80% more likely to develop breast cancer at some point in their life and I warn the parents who come to me with this issue and that the child should be checked later in life so we can catch it early on in hopes of saving anther life.

Bethany Carlton was diagnosed with breast cancer aged just 17

She had lump removed - but was then told she had rare muscle cancer

Months into chemotherapy, her mother found out she also had cancer

Mybritt Larsen, 47, and Bethany are helping each other through treatment

When Bethany Carlton was diagnosed with breast cancer aged just 17 she felt as though her world was falling apart.

Her mother, Mybritt Larsen, 47, was by her side when she had a lump removed days before her 18th birthday - and when the teenager was later told she had a rare form of muscle cancer, That's Life reported.

But just three months into her year-long chemotherapy treatment, the pair from Mackay, in Queensland, were left reeling once again when Ms Larsen was also diagnosed with breast cancer.

They are now fighting cancer together and even organise their chemotherapy sessions so they can take care of each other.

'She came into my room and she said, 'I have something to tell you... I have cancer' and I was just thinking, are you serious,' Bethany told the Brisbane Times.

'I just started laughing and then she started laughing and I said 'I am so sorry, I feel terrible but this is just so random, what are chances of this happening'.

'I said, 'Why are you trying to steal my thunder Mum? I am the one with cancer, not you!',

'After that I went to my friend's house and I had a little cry because I was a upset.'

They help support each other through their treatment and are positive that they will win their separate battles side-by-side.

Bethany said her mother 'motivated' her to keep going and revealed that their struggle has showed how powerful their 'mother-daughter' bond is.

The teenager first visited her GP in 2013 after her partner felt a lump underneath her right breast - but ignored his advice to have an ultrasound.

Bethany decided to have an ultrasound and biopsy after the lump grew from the size of a five-cent coin to the size of a small apricot.

'I felt like the unluckiest person in the world.'

'It felt like I was struck by lightning. Why was this happening to me?'

She underwent surgery in Brisbane to have the cancerous lump removed two weeks later - just five days before her 18th birthday.

A few weeks she was asked to undergo further testing which showed she had a rare form of muscle cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.

The teenager, who is a budding choreographer, was then visited by a social worker who explained that chemotherapy might affect her ability to fall pregnant.

'She came into my room and said: 'We need to walk about your fertility options'.

'I just broke down there, I thought 'I wasn't even thinking about having kids, this is crazy talk'.'

Bethany went on IVF and had some of her eggs removed before starting her chemotherapy in May.

Three months into her treatment, she decided to take control of her hair loss and shaved it all off. She now wears a raven-black wig which makes her feel 'beautiful again'.

Her mother was there for her throughout the treatment, but was forced to deliver more bad news when her mammogram showed she also had a mass in her breast.

'I never thought lightning would strike in the same place twice,' Ms Larsen told That's Life.

'I'm sure we can beat this together.'

Ms Larsen was diagnosed with stage-three and was told she needed six months of chemotherapy.

Bethany is now trying to raise enough money so she can create a series of dance pieces to Sia songs that have helped her through her 'cancer year'.

'Having the chance to express my story through my beloved artform would not only be a massive dream, but as I wish to professionally document the performances, it would be a monument of this tough life experience and inspire others to tell their story too,' she said.

Treating breast cancer can cost a lot of money for woman 65 and older it costs around $23,000 for initial treatment and around $2,200 for  continual treatment.  However  Doxorubicin Liposomal cost 30,000 to 40,000+  a year depending on the person but riding them of breast cancer if successful is 20% more likely to get rid cancer compared to other chemotherapy. however it can redevelop if not all cancer cells are killed.

In the low stages this drug is only meant to destroy any cancer cells after a normal treatment meaning you no longer have cancer in the high stages how ever its meant to keep you alive as it cannot target all the cancer cells without being confused. This causes many of the people I diagnose to have serious issues throughout their life if not caught early on.

When I learned people in Belgium, Denmark , and France people are more likely to  have breast cancer than any other nation per 100,000 capital it shocked me and that's when I decided to devote my life to helping cancer patients of all kinds.

May mom developed breast cancer when I was young and I wanted do more for her so I became a Oncologist to save her and when she died I vowed to help others so people don't have to go through what I did when I was younger

Whether or not the person should take the risk of paying the cost  depends on how bad it is and how bad they want to be cured while taking the risk that not all of the cancer cells will be killed and have to go through it again. Many people choice to take the normal medicine as it keeps them alive and their are less risks involved and don't suffer from high stages of cancer.
