Breast out!
Cancer, any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream.
Breast cancer is the number one cause of death of women in the US and in the Philippines as well. Women who are experiencing early menstruation and late menopausal stage and those who give birth beyond the age of 30 are more prone to this dreadful illness. However, it's worth noting that this type doesn't choose its victim which means everybody is vulnerable even men, though in a much less cases as 1 man in every 10,000.
Breast cancer is really something to be feared of however, hope is not lost after all. The best way to stop it is on its early development stage and that's what Secretary Ronald Ferrer "Nurse Dodong" and the rest of the Rotary Club of Mactan were here for, to educate and inform the women of Baranggay Gilutongan on how to escape breast cancer's painful fate.
Nurse Dodong compellingly discussed the facts related to breast cancer from the causes to the stages down to its cure. "Unya mahal man ang magpatambal ana sir," one of the women voiced out her sentiment, "maayo untag naay libre nga biopsy." Indeed it is, pointing to the fact of its cure and medication that apparently made it more dreadful. If one cannot afford, one eventually counts the decrementing days of his life unless it is prevented to fully mature. "Malikayan ang makagasto ug dako kung mamatikdan ug sayo ang cancer," answered Nurse Dodong. How to discover and prevent it is through Breast Self-Examination (BSE), a strategic approach done 8-10 days after menstruation. Nurse Dodong carefully pointed out to the eager all-women crowd the proper ways of doing BSE. While members of the RC Mactan’s Sharing Gifts Foundation-RCC assisted Nurse Dodong.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." I guess this line is very well explained.
