who knew how passionate we could be about health, and all things under the sun?

cancer strikes one in every four.
the reality of facing death never strays far away. the proximity is suffocating, but facts jump out at you. too many lives have been taken far too early. but it's never too late to take that one step forward and equip ourselves with the knowledge.

Ovarian cancer is dangerously subtle. early detection is crucial, but how can one accuse abdominal bloating, eating difficulties, constipation, weight gain, urinary frequency and severe fatigue as a reason to see the doctor? Be proactive, be mindful of little changes in your body and more importantly, be aware. For more information, go to www.ovca.org

Breast cancer is appallingly common. again, early detection instills hope in removing lumps of fatality. Look for any changes in: size & shape of breast, skin colour, swelling, inverted nipples or dimpling of skin. Have an open mind, please visit www.breastcancer.org if curiosity gets ahead of you.

The risk of developing cervical cancer is highest for women between 20-29 years old. you need a Pap test, a detecting means that has saved the lives of 70% of United States women. Go for regular screenings to get rid of HPV- a sexually transmitted virus. Or check out www.cervicalcancercampaign.org immediately.

Leukaemia cancer is also source for concern. White blood cells,while serving as our body's soldiers, may develop cancer. No matter what, anaemia, frequent bruising, infections and abnormal bleeding must be looked into. Make a stopover at www.leukimia.org if you care about you.

heartbeats soared a little too high for comfort when us sensives (self-made plural of the noun sensitive) hit raw nerves. Perhaps that was what kept us away from our books- our inner child fighting to be heard, to poke awareness and spur our thoughts a little. Can i say it was an informative girly session that created guilt runovers, worry overloads and unusual bonding? it could have been the lighting, the (major) distraction being food, the hordes of people streaming past out 'strategic' table.. or it could be the company.

a company of five full-fledged young adults, exploring and discussing our thoughts in an unstoppably enthusiastic manner.
cheers!
