There is Life after Breast Cancer Fight for It!
Whenever we hear or read the word “cancer” we inevitably say in
our minds ‘God forbid!’ and think about the health of our family, the close
ones and, of course, ourselves.
Unfortunately, cancer can
happen to each and anyone of us, even if we stay away from dangerous food, do
sports and live, what we call, a healthy life. As October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month let’s
tap into this subject a little..
When we think about cancer, we connect it with death.
However, only if detected in a later stage cancer is deadly, so let’s not
associate death with cancer. The only thing we have to do is to be careful at
the symptoms and detect the cancer as early as possible. Do not choose
ignorance!
- A rash around (or on) one of the nipples
- A lump in a breast
- A pain in the armpits or breast that does not seem to be related to the menstrual period
- The nipple-skin or breast-skin may have started to peel, scale or flake
- The size or the shape of the breast changes
- The nipple changes in appearance; it may become sunken or inverted
- Pitting or redness of the skin of the breast; like the skin of an orange
- An area of thickened tissue in a breast
- One of the nipples has a discharge; sometimes it may contain blood
- Getting older
- Genetics
- Alcohol consumption
- Radiation exposure
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Breast implants
- A history of breast cancer
- Estrogen exposure
- Obesity
Studies show that more and more women
survive breast cancer. Women are informed, they are afraid and ashamed to ask
for help, to ask questions, to seek support. Women have learned to fight for
their lives and not just live with the impression that cancer has no solution.
