CONCLUSION

In conclusion, breast cancer is a very severe illness. Many men and
women should start taking it more sincerely. Women should go for a
check up at least every three years to prevent getting breast cancer or
any other cancer. There are many organizations that can help a
woman get her early detection test. Breast cancer can spread more
quickly if left and not cared about. If you were already diagnosed with
cancer, do not stop believing that you will be okay someday. No
women should be ashamed to go and have an early detection test for
her breast. No one wants to get a life threatening illness.
