Breast Cancer Topic: Can you name Famous Black Women who've had BC?
A short film to help raise awareness of Cancer. I have focused on cancers women get, with an emphasis on breast cancer. The recent deaths in 2009, of Wendy Richard from Breast Cancer and then Jade Goody from Cervical cancer, have served to highlight the importance of self-awareness of your body. We cannot function without you ladies, so please look after yourselves as you should, and if you feel something is not right, or you notice a lump, discomfort, discharge, strange smells or blood in your urine or stools, then please get medical advice right away.So many beautiful women have died of this horrible nightmare, it's time we found a cure. If we all do a little more to help cancer charities, we will make strides toward that beautiful day when cancer is a thing of the past.A few people have been lucky, with Farah Fawcett and Kylie Minogue having Colon and Breast Cancer respectively, and both in remission, but others are not so lucky. NEVER ignore a call or letter to attend a screening or smear, not matter how busy your life is. I'm sure you'd rather have a couple of hours inconvenience, than being told you only have weeks to live, and we've seen recently how quickly this thing can turn from a scare to a funeral.I do not own the copyright to the pictures in this video, but given what they are being used for, I am sure I can be forgiven, and I feel pretty sure the subjects wouldn't mind, if there's a chance to save even one life by making someone realise how important this thing is!The music is my own composition. I used it because it tells a tale of no matter how awful things get, there's always hope, and no matter how bleak things look, there's the possibility of that beautiful day.I also know if I'd used someone else's music (I wanted to use 'As the years go passing by, by Albert King) I would have been made to take the video down.I lost my own father to cancer in July 2008.Steve Gad. March 2009.BREAST CANCER:Symptoms You Can See or Feel* Swelling or lump (mass) in the breast* Swelling in the armpit (lymph nodes)* Nipple discharge (clear or bloody)* Pain in the nipple* Inverted (retracted) nipple* Scaly or pitted skin on nipple* Persistent tenderness of the breast* Unusual breast pain or discomfort.Some Symptoms of Advanced (Metastatic) Breast CancerStage 4, or metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of this disease.
