Breast Cancer

If you're a lady and you care, please read. :)
If you're a man, please move on to other posts. :)



I know its kind of weird to talk about breast cancer...
But its for health! 
So screw the shyness if you care for your body. :D
Nobody wishes for breast cancer.
Its not something we can decide but we can make a change, if you try!
You ladies are probably aware that breast cancer isn't a funny thing.
You're lucky if you get to cure it at an early stage.
But if its too late, what will happen?
The cancerous cells spreads to the other breast,  and you end up having a surgery.
Guess you know what happens after that.


So..why not take care of your body from the start!
With a healthy body, you can achieve anything! Happiness and all :)


Breast cancer runs in family blood.
But that doesn't mean if your ancestors or parents have it, you're 100% getting it.
It just makes your possibility of getting it, higher than average people.
In every human body there's a cancer cell.
But its just a matter of fact if its still active.
So, don't get paranoid after reading this post..==


I'm sure your school nurse taught you how to do normal check-up on yourself.
It doesn't hurt to try it out :)
Symptoms to look out for
Feel for any swelling or lump at the side of your breast or under your armpits.
Check if your breast changes size or shape, swollen without reason.
Dimpling of breast skin or rashes.
Retraction or indentation of nipple.
Discharge from nipple other than breast milk.
The nipple become inverted.
A lump that is painless, hard with uneven edges is more likely to be cancer.
But sometimes cancer can be tender, soft and rounded.


Ways to defense!
If you study Form4 Biology, you must know cancer causing{cancerous} substances.
If you don't remember..go revise your books =.=
Avoid burnt protein, preservatives, coloring, etc.
Stay away from radioactive substances.
Mobile phones for example. XD
Always maintain your stress level!!
When your hormones gets out of control, thats a big mistake...
Wear clean undergarments. Wash everyday.:)


But there are times when we cant control it.
Your chances of getting it increases if you start menstruation {monthly periods} at an early age {before age 12} and going through menopause {end of monthly cycle} at a late age {after age 55}.


Do you love yourself? I'll let you decide..:)
