Thanks for the reminder. :)
BAD: a lady developed breast cancer, didn't do anything about it bcoz of the sharam issue, then when things got bad, she started homopathy!!!!, things got worse, and someone finally got her to go to a radiation oncologists. The doctor prescribed immediate surgery, followed by radiation therapy. Well she did all that, and half way through the radiation therapy, she felt better so left it!!!!!!!!! (the reasons why u r meant to get radiation therapy is so that any microscopic disease that may have been left behind from the surgery is taken care of). Khair, the cancer reoccurred, but by now, it was beyond hope.... her breast LITERALLY swell to a size of a small watermellon, started growing fungus on it, had blood peeping out, and somehow, started developed a colony of worms on it, Astaghfiruallah!!!
I've seen a similar case so yes, this does happen. Ladies, please make it a priority and get a pap smear plus a mamogram done. Why risk it..
It's really sad and pathetic that ppl will not even take care of their health just b/c of "sharam" issues.
This is very common in pakistan..not only for breast cancer but for inguinal hernias (males) as well. I remember this guy who'd been carrying around a hernia the length of his arm and came only when the intestines inside had twisted severly enuf to cause pain.
It's not only the shame but lack of awareness as well. If they are aware of the circumstances, the downhill results, they are more likely to go out, get tested adn treated.
