There is nothing new or strange being a cancer or HIV patients,but most ignorantly,we all result to fallacy instead of us to come to reality with what has befallen us;faceit headlongwith strong belief that you will get out of it.
Cancer as a terminal desease,if detected early,could be prevented or it after-effects nip in the bud.but unfortunately,these are disease that ought not to kill or maim us if we have sought that medical help early.
Several millions of people yearly are diagnosed with cancer.Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading causes of cancer's death among men in United States,while breast and cervix cancer are the most common among women.
Reseach studies suggest that cancer screeninig improves quality of life and decreases a patient risk of having the cancer spread to other parts of the body.regular screening for cancer could help men and women,who are otherwise healthy,despite the religious inclinations of many people,ensures that they do not end up dying from cancer.
Accordinly,a monthly self-breast examination or mammogram can help to ensure early detection of any lump or the signs suggestive of an abnormality in the breast.Early detection saves life.if you catch cancer in the very early stage,you can live your normal lifestyle.expecially to the women,the breasts and the cervix are yours,so devote 15 minutes of your time in one year to checking your own body.when you have bath in the morning,use flat of your hand to massage your breasts.when you do it everyday,the moment you feel something like a pimple that is not there before,instantly go to the doctor and complain.
Inform your doctor that this wasn't there before so that they can help you to check,that ensures early detection;it is not a problem,but it becomes a problem when you reject it or do not comply with your doctor's advice to have a mammography screening to have better understanding of the problem.
Mammogram is a simple and painless X-Ray of the breasts.it takes less than 10 minutes to undergo the process and it is highly effective in detecting cancer of the breasts early-when it is quite small,this invariably means a less severe treatment to remove cancer and beating it.
When a breast lump is comfirm to be a cancer,such is removed through surgery.If the surgeon take out the lump and area around it,you are free from cancer and you've given yourself 20 more years to live by that 15 minutes dedicated to self-breast examinations.
