October- Breast cancer awareness

 

 

Even though October is just about over, breast cancer awareness will always be on our minds, and in our hearts. Whether it's a family member, friend, colleague, or a co-worker battling cancer, there's always going to be someone battling breast cancer. Breast cancer DOES affect men, it does not discriminate. It is imperative that we (women and men) educate ourselves about how we can prevent breast cancer through diet, exercise, and getting regular check ups. Props to all the warriors, women and men who are battling breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2019

 

October is breast cancer awareness month, and we all know someone who is battling breast cancer or who has battled breast cancer. Early detection is very important! I know, I know, we all hate going to the doctor. (I know I do....😞 ) but regular check ups, and early detections can save lives!  I told my story last year in my blog where I had a breast cancer scare. I got an x-ray, as well as a biopsy. Thank god it was just fibrous tissue. But the doctor did tell me that I have dense breast. It's important to get regular check ups, but it is extremely important to get regular check- ups when you have dense breast because the fibrous tissue can conceal cancerous lumps.

So ladies, please get your regular breast cancer screenings.

If you don't want to go to the doctor to get regular breast cancer screenings, you can do a self check exam.

Reminder ➡️ Breast cancer does not discriminate!

Men are also affected breast cancer as well. 

So Men, get your check-ups too. 😊
