                                   SOMETHING IS WRONG

 

WELL do you know what is one of the the main reasons for late diagnosis, sicknesses and the progressive illnesses we see today.

PEOPLE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS FOR THEIR OWN WELL BEING.

A colleague of mine knew something was wrong .She was tired  all the time and had chest pains. Although she was told for months to call her doctor she did not. She however decided to go to the internet and do some research . According to her the conclusion was that she had breast cancer according to her friends she was a hypochondriac. After months of pain she finally decided to go to the doctor . She did the relevant tests but the results and scans according to the doctor showed nothing wrong.

                                              SO WHY THE PAINS?

She happened to see something familiar on the scans that she saw on Google images and decided to get a second opinion. After the second doctor did the relevant test they realized she had 2nd stage breast cancer.
