October is recognized as a month for breast cancer awareness
The beauty of life is appreciated on earth with our loved ones, but it is undeniable that it is enjoyed with strong and energetic women.
Women are the true emblem of society, they contribute in the effort with men to raise and prepare children, a woman after passing the stressful period of nine months produces children, becomes a mother and plays the role of friend and wife for the family.
Imagine the compilations of an experienced hit-and-run. I call it femininity and reproduction because of the value that women, especially mothers, have for their children.
To a baby, the mother’s breast is like the rare variety of sweet wine whose flavor lingers in the mouth and makes the palate crave for more. Similarly, some men enjoy the snap of spicy oranges from the same feeding nipples.
Women are the main stakeholders in the growth process of a child and that makes them indispensable.
Most human beings, whether male or female, can wholeheartedly confess that the breast was very vital in our education. Its absence could be compared to depriving us of the oxygen we needed to exist; we cry uncontrollably until ablactation is granted. In fact, it was our source of food until we were weaned.
The breast plays a vital role in the woman’s body, its uses and importance are not only beneficial for the carrier, the woman, but also for society as a whole.
Meanwhile, breast cancer is diagnosed every day around the world, it occurs in women between the ages of 40 and 50. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, in both developed and developing countries.
The great growth of breast cancer in some countries is due to increased life expectancy, changes in reproductive patterns, such as less breastfeeding and the adoption of the Western lifestyle.
According to the health ministry, the majority of women who die from breast cancer live in low- and middle-income households where most women are diagnosed at a late stage due to a variety of factors, such as limited awareness on the part of public attention and health. providers and lack of access to timely, affordable, and effective diagnosis and treatment.
This explains the premise that early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of control. When the disease is caught early and if treatments are available, there is a good chance that the breast cancer can be cured. However, if caught late, curative treatment is no longer an option.
Fortunately, when it comes to breast cancer awareness and fighting, many organizations are targeting breast cancer globally with the goal of preventing it; by raising funds, conducting research, and holding events to teach women about the disease.
Nationwide, most organizations and hospitals do their best to create massive awareness about breast cancer prevention, especially in the month of October. Some hospitals set their financial shield to provide free breast screening services to all women with advice on the causes, symptoms, and how mothers can protect themselves from the disease.
Even though October is qualified as breast cancer month, it should not be limited to October only, but should continue for the rest of the month until the end of the year.
On the other plane, a woman’s breast serves as a natural appreciation for God’s work. It portrays the beauty of women in society, therefore it is advisable for mothers to take intensive and precise care of their breasts. The breast on the breast of a woman contributes to the fundamental growth of humanity and ensures reproduction.
