Cancer

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases worldwide. Cells become cancerous when they lose "contact inhibition''. However, it's very preventable. Read Cancer to learn more especially the girl child.

"Once I stand before a mirror,

I remove my top and bra. When I have placed both hands on my waist, I start to admire what God had created, though not for pleasure. With this, I don't think there can be any other outgrowth other than nipples that I won't detect whenever they grow. I don't think if there is a color other than my chocolate skin, I won't detect it on time. I do not also think I need a medical practitioner to tell me I have started noticing dimpling and abnormal contours. When I'm done watching them, I raise both my hands above my head and watch again. After, I lay on my back and use the right one to feel the left breast. When I'm done, I interchange, now using my left hand to feel the right breast. With a firm, smooth touch using my hand's first few finger pads, I feel all the tissues, keeping the fingers flat and together. Gently, I apply a circular motion, about the size of a quarter, until I have felt the edges.

Occasionally, I move up and down in a vertical role until I'm satisfied nothing is hidden there. Dr. Leo would say, 'ensure you do the same while standing the second time and if you have noticed any lump or abnormally, don't panic. He said that most breast lumps turn out to be benign. There are a number of possible causes of non-cancerous breast lumps, including normal hormonal changes, a benign breast condition, or an injury. Did I tell you earlier what he says cancer is? Okey, in his words,

Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, go beyond their usual boundaries to invade adjoining parts of the body, and/or spread to other organs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths, or one in six deaths, in 2018. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach, and liver cancer are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical, and thyroid cancer are the most common among women.

The breast of a female is a good site for it to lay a foundation. Because we have a family history of breast cancer, I take my mammography once in a while. Each day, I watch people smoke; each day, I see them take alcohol; I know such acts would increase my odds. I rather eat healthily and exercise, and even today, I feel good as I write this to you, my daughter. You have grown now, and your breasts keep increasing. When you are back from vacation, I will tell you more things you should know as a growing young girl. I love you, daughter. "
