October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I thought of doing something good by spreading awareness about it. I've had 2 aunts diagnosed with breast cancer and last year, I had quite a scare myself.

I found a lump in my breast and we instantly had it checked through a biopsy which turned out benign. I chose not to have it removed with the full knowledge that having lumps is not normal in any part of the body. My doctor had informed me that if at any time, should the lump change in shape or size I should see him immediately. Of course I'll do as he says.

Knowledge about any disease or sickness is really our best defense against it.
