Breast cancer is a disease that affects women of all ages, so it's worthwhile to do regular self-examinations and checks. Good health is something that we all too often take for granted, but you need only see all the patients going through various stages of treatment at the National Cancer Centre to understand that illness can strike at anytime. Recently, I came across Xmarksmyspot, by a 26-year-old Singaporean who had her life interrupted by breast cancer just a couple of days after graduating from university. Do give it a read if you can.
