Pink Ribbon

A while back..I wrote a long post about boys,boobs and bras....
Well,this time I'm talking about boobs again..but I won't be whining about unfitting bras or boys calling busty girls names and taking them for dumb..
This post is about the ugly thing that ruins gorgeous breasts ..

*About an Hour ago*
I'm sitting on my bed in my room hammering at my laptop keys. My gorgeous c-Cup roomate gets up and takes off her shirt!!.. *Ghen ghen*... Ok..stop thinking..!I'll tell you.. She didn't touch herself and begin to say dirty things to me ..and neither did she jump me with a dildo in her hand. (Imagining that just makes me mentally puke all over my sheets... (Gross!)..
What she did was go in front of the mirror and look at every inch of her breasts...then she raised her left arm over her head and used the right to press each segment of her left breast..quadrant by quadrant!! Feeling,touching,caressing with the flat of her palm... When she was done...She smiled with soo much contentment in her eyes!
My roomate is not a horny bored med student who is overstressed by the workload of being a student doctor..well,maybe a tiny bit.. But it wasn't the orgasmic look of satiety that was on her face...it was simple relief that her Breasts were healthy and cancer-free.
I always knew a little about Breast Self-Examination and Breast cancer since I lost a family friend to it some 7years ago..but I never took it so serious. I just had that It-cant-Happen-to-me feeling that most of us usually have. Odeshi ba!..
Well..Medical School has taught me different. I've had to come face to face with the reality of breast cancer,the glaring ugly truth!..maybe not directly on my boobs..but my eyes have seen it..and my ears have heard it.. And damn I've had a big turnover!
...I've seen the early stages of cancer..where the middle-aged woman is hit with the awful news that d lump in her breast isn't just breast tissue..
...I've seen the malnourished baby who can't be breastfed because his mothers breasts are letting down milk tainted by blood streaks..
...I've seen a 21year old who the age stats were supposedly in favor of..until the ugliness peeked!
...I've seen the anguish,heard the complaints and even touched the fungating breasts of a women whose cancer had failed to regress even after months of painful therapy..
...I've seen the hair loss the drugs caused and the wigs they try to cover it up with which doesn't even do half the job..
...The heartbreak when u tell them they are going to have their feminine mounds cut off..and have to stuff their bras with pads and foam.

Each of these times...I've lived through it with them and I've trajected onto myself..
Cancer used to be for the older,the ones with family history of it,the people on pills for long years,the infertile....
Nowadays,the thing has turned on us..and its defying all the Facts previously associated with it... Its commoner and its more aggressive..
There's one good news..it can be picked up early before it becomes completely malignant... And you can still save your mounds and avoid a lot of indescribable heartache!

Please,sisters...Press your Breasts,Touch them,Caress them...(If you wish,teach your boyfriend how to..2 birds yeah?) and check for signs of a bony hard lump...mobile or not..if you do,Pls see a doctor immediately...and if you don't Thank Jah and examine it again next month!

A chart for how its done.. Here!
