Breast cancer and beyond

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - One of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life.  The good news is, breast cancer has an 85% cure rate when detected early.  Those living in West Michigan have an advantage  by having access to a full range of services in breast health from screening mammography to surgery to follow up care.  Rachael takes us inside Betty Ford Breast Care Services at Spectrum Health and introduces us to some amazing doctors and technology that works to address the needs of those fighting breast cancer every step of the way.
