What a discovery! It was the first time for both of us that we could feel 4 lumps in a "breast".
We were proud to have found 3 of them in 10 seconds but the last one was super difficult to find.. After 5 minutes (imagine 5 minutes at KPD-A, poking at a fake breast to find a lump), we gave up and asked for help. We later found out that the last one was hidden deep within the breast. We were given a leaflet, advice and information about breast cancer.
In 2002 in Malaysia: 1 woman out of 19 were at risk of having breast cancer
Today, it is predicted to be 1 woman out of 10!!
We were surprised to know that men also could suffer from breast cancer.. 2% of them.
We are all at risk BUT it is the only cancer that we can diagnosed ourself by self examination.
So people, lets take care of our boobs! Check it at least once a year by a gynecologist and once a month yourself. It can save your life!
