Bone pain to me feels like a toothache in your bone. It can be dull or throbbing or sharp. But, it is painful enough to cause you to notice and want relief. Breast Cancer is found in all races and ethnic groups. It seems to go to people, men or women, who have a strong history of other close family members having it. But as research continues, they are beginning to notice that people who smoke or drink alcohol seem to get the breast cancer more than those who do not. This is true for using other drugs as well. I personally believe that the reason that breast cancer appears to affect Caucasians more is because they have in the past had better access to health care and were more likely to go to a doctor for other reasons and the cancer was caught earlier. A lot of other racial and ethnic groups may have all the same illnesses but less treatment opportunity or just do not make a habit of visiting a doctor very often even if they are sick. If you don't have contact with a doctor, you can have a disease such as breast cancer or lung cancer and will not feel sick until it is almost too late to treat. Immediate family members have a higher risk of getting the same cancer than other people, but this is not always the case. Some one has to start the genetic trend, so there have been many times that some one is the only family member to get the disease.
