BCAS

Breast Cancer Awareness Seminar! We had one back in April I think it was. Three weeks of training on how to do a self exam and what to look for. One of the ladies that came to seminar found a lump when she did a self exam a couple of months ago. So she made an appointment to see her doctor. The doctor was surprised that she found it herself. She was able to tell the doctor about the BCAS and all that she learned. The doctor was very impressed. It turned out that the lump was a cyst and she is fine. I am so proud of Samina for doing the self exam and for going to the doctor. I am so happy that it wasn't anything too serious. And I am hopeful that other ladies will learn from her experience and do the self exam. Early detection is the best defense for breast cancer.

What a blessing to see fruit for your labor. I'm so glad it was nothing but that she was a great example of what you should do.
