Booooooobiessss (^_^)

Ok don't be too excited or agitated seeing the topic just yet. Im gonna talk a little bit about breast today.. i just got back from Prof Yip's Morning round started around 7am in the morning (yes i know the timing is ridiculous) and ended around 9am.. She brought us to see several patients with breast cancer.. and trust me what i'm going to tell u is nowhere near anything fun.

Well ladies i know breast is a very important part of female body and yes the impact and stigma when someone actually found a lump ( note that the lump doesn't mean its cancerous just yet )is HUGE. So even with a small lump they can be depress, demoralize and sad as hell..

So here is the story and please do learn from this. This patient found lump in her breast about 2 years ago. Well knowing she has a high risk of getting a breast cancer (her mother had breast cancer) she ignored the lump, and didn't get any medical attention.. She went to Ustaz instead. Well im a believer but then be rationale... this clearly can be solved with modern medicine.. praying and all is an effort but everyone knows logically about the solution (Even Ustaz Harundin seek Dr. for his heart condition while praying to Allah of course)

Well i don't know what the ustaz told her, but she strongly believes that the ustaz can cure cancer as he did to a lot of people. She waited and medicated herself by drinking some herbs. Few months later she had a bloody nipple discharge. Medically it is bad indicator but the Ustaz convinced her that the discharge need to be let out as the blood is a "Dirty Blood". She was convinced that the next process is that when the lump is all dried up and the lump will fall on its own. Ridiculous isn't it? well let see what happened to her now...

The tumour fungated until it appears like this (this is not her actual picture) but her real tumour was actually covering her whole left breast and due to the size and the attachment of the tumour to her skeleton, she had trouble to moving her left hand.Trust me the real picture is way devastating compared to this one. The smell was horrible and it attracts fly

So do be aware if u have a high risk of getting a breast cancer. Risk are:

1. Family History of breast Cancer
2. Previous lump found that was benign
3. Early menarche and late menopause
4. Oral Contraceptive pill user
5. U are on Hormone treatment
6. Nulliparous
7. Age >50

Do practice breast self examination.. See below to learn how
Please please please for god sake, take a few minutes of your time everyday to feel your own breast every time you take a bath. Don't wait till its too late

Owh and i wanted to take this oppurtunity to say RIP ACE :'(

I don't know why am i so affected and sad u died even though it is just the manga. I guess i can truly imagine how is it like to lose a brother.. (i hope my lit bros didn't read this or else they will vomit blood seeing this absurd way of expressing love)
