It’s October!! It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

It is extremely appalling that 1 in 8 Women show breast cancer symptoms, making it the second most common cancer in women. It is never a deadly disease when diagnosed at the initial stage. Speak out to your doctor and undergo a simple screening. Make sure that you don't become a breast cancer victim. Spread awareness and stay alert. Let’s join hands together and eradicate this deadly disease with little care on time.

Spread the Word "MAMMOGRAM"

Mammography is a simple screening test, which is painless and affordable to diagnose breast cancer at its initial stage. The good news is that breast cancer is completely curable when diagnosed earlier. It is recommended for women above 40 years to undergo Mammography every two years.
