How many women are breast or ovarian cancer survivors?

Contributor: js250 js250
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in my early twenties and had a hysterectomy and chemo treatments. I am now considered a survivor and have had no recurrences. I was wondering how many other women on the site are survivors or are going through the same diagnosis.

I would never compare what I went through with breast cancer or ovarian cancer, but I have battled cervical cancer/pre-cancer since I was fifteen. Countless surgeries...nightmare. I don't wish it on anyone.

I am not but my best friend is a breast cancer survivor and I've seen what she has gone through. She lost both of her breasts to cancer. It's been a really rough road for her.

That hurts, too!! It is comparable because until you get the biopsy results you do not know!

My mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She has just completed the mastectomy and reconstructive surgery and is about to start chemotherapy. The whole family is pretty stressed.

My mom is an ovarian cancer survivor, but now I am waiting to be diagnosed with it myself. I am 23 so I am very afraid about seeing my gynecologist later on this September.
