EARLY DETECTION COULD SAVE LIVES
Breast cancer is indeed one of the most terrifying and devastating disease that affected the women society.Unfortunately our ignorance and lack of awareness of this dreadful disease can lead to death. This disease chose no one but there are people considered as high risk because of family history. In my case, my 2 aunts died of breast cancer so I am a high risk. The first thing to do is to have a "do it yourself" check up at home infront of the mirror, check for new lumps or unusual changes that occurs on your breasts such as unusual redness and thickening, unusual sore that never heals,unusual increase of size and unusually lower than the other breast. Avoid using antiperspirants because from the name itself it inhibits the body from purging toxins through the armpits. I am sharing this not to alarm women but simply because I care. Early detection of these signs could save lives. This life is a gift from God, therefore it is our prime duty to take good care of this life entrusted to us. If these signs occur go see a doctor immediately. He may suggests mammogram(chest x-ray), a biopsy or even chemotherapy. Hope this will help women realize how important it is to take this seriously. Think positive and enjoy life.
