Breast Cancer happens to be one of the most deadly diaese of women. This disease has taken so many lives to the grave. Hearing it sometimes scares or frightened me. Many times I would think how I would feel having a breast cancer diseases. It is actually a deadly disease especially not early detected

Many people with this diseases always loss their lives as they feel all hope of living is lost he ce frustration or physiological trauma steps in and the disease gets a better part of them. I have witnessed a few brave ladies lived to tell their stories after treating the disease. Here's a story👇👇👇👇👇

Mme Lilian is a 36 years old lady who was just 6 months into her marriage. She had just discovered she was two months pregnant when she realised she had breast cancer on both sides of her breast which had to be cut off. She always had a complication which required the pregnancy had to be terminated for medical reasons. This lady cried for weeks and decided to keep the pregnancy at the risk of dying. For weeks she was depressed but one day she decided to focus on having her child. The breast was later cut due to its deploring state and 4 months later she had a set of twins. She was happy with the turnout of events and everyone was surprised at her courage to handle these two situations and still be strong. Today her children are 8 years old and she's got two other children again.

HOW CAN BREAST CANCER BE LIMITED IN WOMEN?

There are many ways that people can limit the spread of breast cancer in our women. The most effective ways is by creating for awareness in women about the disease. This can be done through;

• Education: Women need to be educated firstly about what the breadt cancer disease is, causes it's signs and symptoms, treatment. Most women especially in the rural areas don't know what it is all about and will sometimes die of it unknowingly. Education programs can be done

• Spreading information about cancer prevention: It is very very possible to prevent breast cancer infection in women. There are several ways of preventing it like keeping a healthy lifestyle, knowing your health history especially ancestral history, avoid taking alcohol or overdosed alcohol and must importantly breastfeeding our children always and when it is required. These prevention methods should be preached to everyone woman and should be practiced at all cost.

• Screening: It is important for everyone to know about their health situation especially with diseases like this. Women are advised to constantly see their health status. This helps to take action in case of an infection. Screening is very important.

• Treatment: Treatment is very essential to this disease especially at the early stages. It is possible to get it eradicated from your system if you follow the right procedure of chemotherapy. Most women feel depressed when diagnosed of breast cancer and easily give up on treatment. Treatment is very possible and so every woman should be aware and have hope of living after the infection.

Breast Cancer awareness can be carried out by using can be done social media handles, public speaking events or campaigns in hospitals and community areas. One week ago a Catholic medical hospital brought information to my church about breast cancer sensitisation, free consultation and screening and 25% reduction ok treatment. I was very elighted and to of myself I would go for the screening as it will help me know my health situation.

CONCLUSION

The breast cancer disease has caused a great wave of panic over the world and affecting many lives negatively. It is good for women to be aware of its effect on our lives and so manage it positively. I too have been scared about it for long and for the knowledge I have about it I am able to help others know about it. The say knowledge is power and so I think I may not feel depressed if I find out I have the disease.
