1 in every 8 women has a chance of developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. Breast cancer cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. While breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women from all over the world, there can be breast lumps which are non-cancerous in nature. In other words, not all lumps in the breasts are breast cancers. Doctors estimate that about 5-10 percent of breast cancer cases are linked to family history and are passed through genes to next generations. Self examination is the best way to detect breast cancer. Some 40 percent of breast cancers are discovered by women, during breast self-exams.

Tahira Kashyap, Indian writer, director and wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, is a brave #breastcancer warrior. Tahira was diagnosed with breast #cancer in 2018. What followed was painful sessions of #chemotherapy, medication, #mastectomy and reconstruction. But, she fought like a warrior. Tahira doesn't appreciate the word 'cancer survivor.' "We (cancer patients) do whatever we can to the best of our ability. Some of us make it, some don’t. That doesn’t mean there’s any reward or medal for those people. The biggest reward for anyone who’s been through this ordeal and emerged from it is life itself, that’s the biggest boon," says Tahira. Here's the story of Tahira Kashyap, one of the many brave cancer warriors. #breast #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #cancerfree #breastcancerfighter #breastcancer #cancer #chemotherapy #mastectomy #breast #breastcancerawareness #cancerfree #breastcancerfighter

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Here's what you need to know about the disease. Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries. 10-15 percent of ovarian cancers are inherited, and women with a family history are at a greater risk. Unfortunately, all women are at risk of #ovariancancer. There is no effective early screening that can successfully detect ovarian #cancer at an early stage, and the symptoms can be vague most of the time. Still, doctors believe that pain in the #pelvis and #abdomen, urgent need to urinate, and constant bloating can indicate an early ovarian cancer. It's not clear what causes ovarian cancer, but doctors have identified that old age, family history of ovarian cancer, and estrogen hormonal replacement therapy are some of the factors that can increase the risk of the disease. The risk of developing ovarian cancer can be reduced by 50% if you take birth control pills consistently for 5+ years. It is important that every woman get screened for genetic factors including BRCA1 and BRCA2. #ovariancancer #cancer #pelvis #abdomen

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer usually begins on the surface of the ovary, the organ that produces eggs and female hormones. There is no effective early screening that can successfully detect ovarian cancer at an early stage, and the symptoms can be vague most of the time. Doctors believe that pain in the pelvis and abdomen, urgent need to urinate, and constant bloating can indicate an early ovarian cancer. But, what's concerning is that for a majority of women, cancer in their breasts or ovaries is something to be hidden. Denial is often a factor that delays diagnosis and treatment. The first step towards healing from cancer is awareness about the disease and and treating it as just as an disease. #womenshealth #femalehealth #healthcare #ovariancancer #ovariancancerawarenessmonth #cancerwarrior #cancersurvivor #womenshealth #femalehealth #healthcare #ovariancancer #ovariancancerawarenessmonth #cancerwarrior #cancersurvivor
