We are celebrating Women's month in South Africa in the whole month of August to commemorate the lives of the women that fought for women's rights in 1956. In commemoration of these herions, as women why don't we celebrate this month by doing something that is good for our health? Getting a
mammogram! A mammogram is the scanning of the breasts done by health professionals to determine whether there are any traces of tumours or cancer in the breasts
www.breastcancer.org . "
Breast Cancer is a term that refers to a miligant tumour that has developed from cells in the breast." says Doctor Micheal Mol. Like any other cancers, Breast Cancer has symptoms, symptoms of Breast Cancer may include:
- Swelling of all or partial parts of the breasts
- Skin irritation or dimpling
- Breast pain
- Nipple pain or nipple turning inward
- Redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
- Nipple dischrage (other than milk)
- A lump in the under-arm areas
Should you have any one of these symptoms, consult a health practitioner or your nearest clinic as soon as you possibly can. Let's be future herions by being more vigilant to our breasts and going for regular mammograms and tackling breast cancer by taking better care of our health. Celebrate
Women's month by getting a
mammogram!

ReplyDeleteI personally think that it is about time that women care more about their health rather than their looks.
DeleteThis is a great awareness campaign,women need to start taking their lives seriously and go for regular breast cancer check ups.

DeleteWomen deserve to celebrate this month with pride because they were previously dissadvantaged,,and it also important for them to support those who are suffering from breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe department of Health should establish support groups in and around communities for women that are affected by breast cancer.
DeleteThis is good advise, I'd also suggest that women get checked for breast cancer because as we all know, prevention i smuch better than cure!
ReplyDeleteI couln't have said it better myself!
DeleteCancer is here guys, so we need to do regular check-ups of our bodies because it is not easily identified.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sad truth is you not even know you have it until it is too late.
Deletei support this. get checked for breast cancer, lets not rob kids of their mothers or countries of their future leaders
ReplyDeleteIt is really tragic to see someone suffer from something that is initially treatable.
DeleteVery informative, thank you for giving us such information because now i have knowledge about what symptoms to be aware of and will certainly share this information with other women too.
ReplyDeleteIt is only a pleasure and as a woman myself, I have to keep a look out for other women.
