Breast Health



Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.

Every 2 1/2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. This could be your mother, your sister, your wife, your daughter; this could be you or this could be me.

Wake up women!

Anytime you experience any kind of change in your breast, get yourself to a doctor.

Yes, I know it's expensive. So what?

If you experience any kind of itching, redness, swelling, or discover a lump, don't self-diagnose. Get yourself to a doctor!

If you notice any skin changes or nipple discharge, don't self-diagnose. Get yourself to a doctor!

I am currently facing a possible breast cancer diagnosis. We should have answers within the week.

When my breast became itchy and developed a small lesion, I didn't seek medical care immediately. I applied various creams, trying in vain to heal myself.

Wake up women!

Don't mess with this kind of thing. Get to yourself to a doctor!
