As you may know, the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, marked in countries across the world, helping to increase awareness, early detection and treatment of this disease.
In India, one woman gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 4 minutes, and one woman dies of it every 13 minutes, making it the most prevalent cancer among women. And though more rare, men too can get breast cancer.
On a personal note, some of the closet women in my life have been affected by this illness. So if you take away anything from this Wellness Edition of The Jurni, it should be this: remind the women in your life to perform monthly self-exams - it may just save their lives.
To Health,
