You should conduct a self -breast exam every month. You can either lie down or stand up, and feel all parts of your breast inside and outside into your arm pit. Try to do this after your period has ended every month, as before your period your breast may feel tender and lumpy due to luteal phase hormones. If you notice a lumo which consistently the same size persistent for over a month, consider checking with a gynecologist. If you have pain, cracked or bleeding nipples, notice changes in the skin of your breast, all should warrant a check with your healthcare professional

No, I don't take pap smear test regularly as the experience of collection of sample of cervix gets very uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Rasanya kanker adalah kompleks dan sulit dipahami secara universal karena pengalaman individu yang berbeda-beda. Bagi beberapa orang, kanker bisa menjadi seperti pertempuran tanpa henti yang menguras energi fisik, emosional, dan mental. Perasaan ketakutan, kecemasan, dan ketidakpastian sering kali menjadi bagian dari pengalaman ini. Rasanya seperti berada dalam kegelapan yang tidak pasti, di mana tiap langkah serasa dikelilingi oleh ketidakpastian dan ketakutan akan masa depan.

Kanker adalah kondisi di mana sel-sel abnormal tumbuh tanpa kontrol dan menyerang jaringan sehat dalam tubuh.

Sarah, a 45-year-old single mother, has recently been diagnosed with a serious illness that makes it difficult for her to work. She has a life insurance policy with a full living benefit rider. This rider allows her to access a portion of her policy's death benefit while she is still alive under certain conditions. Sarah is concerned about her ability to cover medical expenses and maintain her household's financial stability during her illness. How can Sarah utilize the full living benefit in her life insurance policy to help manage her current financial situation, and what impact might this have on the death benefit that will eventually be paid to her beneficiaries?

read the policy carefully and see what the local government schemes are.

She should first be reading the policy carefully and look for every possible thing she can milk and if she's not able to do that she can always consult a professional to guide her through

Annual checks are really important. You may not always have a symptom or complaints. If we can detect a disease in the early stage the chance of complications are reduced to a great extent. "Prevention is better than Cure" .......and so Annual Check ups are a must 🙂🙂

pola makan yang gak sehat, kebiasaan merokok, minum alkohol berlebihan, sampe jarang gerak atau kurang olahraga, gitu deh. jadi, kita mesti lebih aware sama kebiasaan-kebiasaan kayak gitu buat ngurangin risiko kanker, ya.

Anonymous・18d

Banyak yang nggak sadar, nih, tapi gaya hidup yang kurang sehat bisa jadi pemicu kanker. Misalnya, pola makan yang nggak sehat, kurang gerak, dan paparan zat-zat berbahaya. Jadi, harus bener-bener jaga pola hidup ya!

Iya, ada nih hoax tentang kanker yang penting buat kita waspadai. Jadi, jangan langsung percaya deh kalo dengerin cerita-cerita yang bilang kalo semua benjolan di payudara itu pasti kanker. Kebanyakan dari mereka itu beneran bukan kanker, tapi bisa jadi kista atau tumor jinak. Jadi, tetep cek dan konsultasi sama dokter ya, jangan panik dulu!

Anonymous・18d

hoax yang bilang minum air kelapa bisa sembuhin kanker, atau cerita-cerita bahwa kanker bisa diobati dengan ramuan alami tanpa bukti ilmiah yang jelas. Jadi, harus hati-hati dan selalu cek kebenarannya sebelum percaya.

Kanker sulit disembuhkan karena bisa berkembang dan menyebar ke berbagai bagian tubuh, serta sulit untuk sepenuhnya dihilangkan tanpa merusak jaringan sehat yang terdekat.

Anonymous・9d

Kanker sulit disembuhkan karena kanker merupakan penyakit kompleks yang dapat bervariasi dalam jenis dan tingkat keparahan. Terapi yang tersedia saat ini biasanya bertujuan untuk mengendalikan pertumbuhan kanker, memperpanjang hidup, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup, tetapi penyembuhan total seringkali sulit dicapai karena faktor seperti keganasan, penyebaran, dan resistensi terhadap pengobatan.
