My mother was the patient of breast cancer due to lack of awareness about she lost her life i am sometimes scared but i never had my check up . Writing on this topic by studying on it actually helps me a lot to understand more deeply about the breast cancer. I will definitely try that i also go for my genetic test and additional screening options to the doctor Thanku very much @mesola for organizing such an informative Contest.
