SAVERA: NEW RAYS ON THE HORIZON.
These
are several issues that women have to face in their daily lives.
Unfortunately, breast cancer is not high in priority.
One of the reasons for this is our belief
that not worrying about it will lead to not being afflicted by it. It's
like something that always happens to someone else. Which is why it is
vital to understand the importance of this issue and undergo regular
check-ups to ensure good health.
There is a great need to increase awareness
about the importance of regular check-ups when women reach a particular
age. Because symptoms of breast cancer appear often the cancer has
spread, it makes treatment difficult, agonising and uncertain.
