I am a resident in the middle east and there are several cultural stigmas and social pressures being experienced by women who have breast diseases.

This has also been highlighted by a lady breast surgeon based in UAE called Dr. Arati Shirali on her website: http://www.beautybeyondbreast.com/

I know that some women eat on seperate tables, some have pressures when it comes to marrying off their daughters, other's do not even want the word cancer to be mentioned to them by a medical person. 

I was keen to know if similar cultural pressures exist for women in other countries?
