Being Breast Aware: Nine Lives….And Many More
One out of every nine Indian women is estimated to develop breast cancer in her lifetime. We are on the verge of becoming the breast cancer capital of the world. Initially identified as a disease of urban women, it is now rampant in rural areas as well. The situation is bleak, with limited medical facilities and the majority of cases being detected at an advanced stage. Ironically, if breast cancer is detected early, the chances of survival are quite high. Alas, women rarely discuss breast health issues. Hence, early detection through widespread and rigorous screening programs is critical. There are two categories of women in this regard: those who remain ignorant and unconcerned about breast cancer and thus miss detection until it is too late. The other category is those who become hypochondriacs and get overtreated or remain under considerable stress all the time. This book aims to address both ends of the spectrum while also dispelling common myths in society. The author brings to light pertinent and relevant issues with the help of short stories. Nine stories …inspired by real-life cases; each accompanied by breast cancer facts and guidelines, do’s and don’ts, and medical facts presented in simple language It is the author’s ardent hope to reach out to as many women, and men too, as possible through this book in order to save many more lives.
