TOPSHOTS-IRAN-HEALTH-BREAST-CANCER
TOPSHOTSIranian breast cancer patient Farvah and her fiance Saleh try to wake up in the morning in their countryside house in a village near the Caspian Sea port city of Bandar Anzali, northern Iran on November 1, 2013, during a trip to take a break after her surgery and to start the new phase of her medication with radiotherapy. According to Iranian cancer research, breast cancer is the most common form of the illness suffered by Iranian women with roughly more than 7000 new cases per year with widespread pollution in big cities being blamed for the soaring cancer statistics, while import of medicine is still difficult as Iran is affected by Western economic sanctions due to the country's controversial nuclear program. Farvah, a 30-years-old copywriter and editor from Tehran fought her breast cancer since she acknowledged the disease in July 2013 and went through cancer treatments of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a lumpectomy operation to overcome the cancer in December. Farvah wrote on her Facebook wall in November 2013: "Sometime I forget my illness. After seeing yesterday an old photo of mine with long hair, I said unconsciously: "I look good with long hair! Why did I chop it down?" AFP PHOTO/BEHROUZ MEHRI == IRAN OUT == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE ==
