Shannon Tweed Breast Cancer A Big Scare for Gene Simmons Family. Gene Simmons’ long time girlfriend and baby momma Shannon Tweed had a breast cancer scare. There have been rumors circulating, but none indicated whether they were true or not.

Tweed and Simmons appeared on an epiode of “The Doctors”, and she indicated that she found a lump in her breast, and that doctors confirmed the lump and removed it. After testing the lump, it was determined that she did not have cancer.

1 in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer during her life. When caught in the earliest stages, the survival outlook is quite high. Simmons and Tweed want women out in the world to understand the importance of breast cancer checkups.

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer include a thickening in the breast tissue, lumps, bloody discharge from the nipple, redness or pitting of the skin above the breast, and inverted nipples.
