Health Link Special Q404
Breast Cancer
Airs:  Thursday, October 11, 2007 at 8pm ET


1 in 8 women will get the diagnosis of breast cancer in her lifetime.  This year, nearly 200,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer.  In fact, it may be the disease women fear most, but there's more reason for optimism than ever before as early diagnosis and medical advances have significantly increased survivorship.  Join Benita Zahn for a special 1 hour call-in edition of Health Link as we examine survivorship and the latest breakthroughs in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.  We'll also talk about the role complementary therapies play.
