October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Yet this does not mean that we should forget about the issue for another year...on the contrary!


"Health is precious and all too often people could have been helped sooner, and more easily, if only they had not chosen to ignore necessary checks. Even a telephone call to a health professional can alleviate your initial fears about the steps you should take....Lastly, weigh up the pros and cons of getting a (mammogram or ultrasound) scan- are you going to wait for visible, painful or other potentially serious symptoms, or stick your head in the sand (very easy here in the Middle East!), or are you simply going to see this as part of your necessary annual check up and face each day as it comes? Because regardless of the outcome, there is always support available to you".
