Awareness is the Key

Mahatma Ghandi once said: It is health that is really wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. This is so true and we all must make sure we are aware of all that can harm us.

And talking about awareness, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is the time emphasized in raising awareness and reducing the so-called stigma of breast cancer through information on symptoms and treatment. Also, I may add that it is also the time used to make aware that this is a disease that targets both women and men.

Hey boys! This is not a women's issue anymore...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

So, what is breast cancer? in simple words, it is cancer that erupts from breast tissue and starts growing in the breast area. The most common symptom are the lumps in the breast and, like I mentioned before, it can appear in both women and men.

I urge you to get informed on what this cancer is and what are all the symptoms it presents. You can read the details by clicking on What is Breast Cancer? provided by the National Breast Cancer Foundation (online) or you can also click on a similar article provided by the American Cancer Society (online).

Your health is your wealth. To be aware and take action for a better health ---> that is your investment on that wealth.
