![hdzebi67ai.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/hdzebi67ai.jpg) [SOURCE](https://www.brmc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/breast-cancer-awareness-month-1.jpg) Today marks it the 8th anniversary of #NoBraDay. Waking up this morning to an October 13th and checking the social media I wasn't surprised with what I did see but I weep for the ignorance I see flying around. Thousands if not millions of individuals are tweeting about #nobraday on twitter but a large number of the tweets display ignorance only a few are in alliance with what today, October 13th truly symbolize. National Breast Cancer Awareness Day is a day to alighten women around the world on cancer and how to self-examine themselves to know if there is a lump on the breast or not. Early discovery of a lump on the breast can be treated but late discovery can lead to medical surgery. For those of us that don't know much about breast cancer, I will give you a brief information > **Breast cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the breast. Breast cancer is associated with women but can also occur in men but in a very low situation. Over the years the rate of death associated with breast cancer have reduced due to alignment and educational programs being organized**. Some of the symptoms of breast cancer are as follows: > • A breast lump that feels different from the surrounding tissues of the breast • Abnormal changes observed in the size, shape, and appearance of the breast • A newly inverted nipple • Redness of some areas of the breast [REFERENCE1](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/breast-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20352470) PREVENTION/CONTROL OF BREAST CANCER √ Exercise often √ Avoid gaining overweight/obesity √ Feed healthily/ take good nutritional diet √ Drink alcohol in moderation √ limit/avoid chest x-ray √ Nursing mothers are advised to breastfeed their children adequately as early stoppage of breastfeeding can be a cause √ Don't expose the breast to harmful chemicals/rays √Self Examination ### HOW TO SELF-EXAMINE YOUR BREAST ![klyln1xoog.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/klyln1xoog.jpg) [SOURCE](http://positivemed.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Breast-Self-Exam.jpg) > • Lye on your back • Lay your right hands behind your head and take your left hands to your breast gently yet firmly touch all areas of your breast to check for lumps • Stand up or sitting down take your hands and feel your armpit for breast tissues is connected to it • Place a mirror before you and Check for any color spot/change for example readiness of the breast • Gently squeeze your nipples checking for discharge [REFERENCE2](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001993.htm) **Every Lady Out There Should Make It Mandatory To Perform Self Examination For Breast Lump At Least Every Three Months** #NoBraDay is for sensitization and not sexualization. Spread the word to your friends and love ones, you never can tell you may be saving a life somewhere ### Thanks for reading. I remain @prechyrukky
